20 15 10 3, the independent film "A Corner of Paradise" directed by China director Zhang premiered during 19 Busan International Film Festival. The film was shortlisted for the Asian film window unit, and the 20 12 Busan Film Festival project market was supported by the Asian Film Fund. Director Zhang also attended the post-screening meeting and had a close communication with the audience.

This film is the third feature film directed by Zhang. Adapted from a true story, it tells the story of a rural teenager on his way to find his mother. All he has is a letter from his mother without an address. On the lonely road to find his mother, the teenager met all kinds of people, was kidnapped and cheated, but never found his mother. Director Zhang said that he was very moved when he first heard the story, so he wanted to film it for everyone to see.

A Corner of Heaven continues Zhang's black-and-white image and hand-held photography style, just like his previous film Black Blood. Director Zhang said: "I think black-and-white movies are the simplest and my favorite. They are very consistent with the story atmosphere of the movies. Hand shaking is the most real way to follow the protagonist's footsteps, which shows the protagonist's subjective perspective of finding and feeling the world. The composition of the picture is very simple, and the shaking picture is also a realistic performance. " However, some viewers mentioned that they did feel dizzy and uncomfortable during the movie. The director also said that some devices to prevent excessive jitter will be used next time, and post-production will be strengthened.

The film stars a boy of 1 1 years old. The director said that it took two weeks to find the leading role when casting in the village. "He was the only child in the village who had leisure to make a movie at that time, and he happened to be the right actor for my film. But in the middle of filming, he felt that he was already a star, and he often refused my director's request. We often fight, but fortunately I always win. " Director Zhang also said that it is really too difficult and too hard to make a film featuring children, and I don't want to make it again if it is not necessary.

For the next step, director Zhang said that he would make a color film with the theme of sex, hoping to come to Busan International Film Festival again.
