2019 is about to end, which means that the time for inventory has come.
Looking back on this year, it seems that many movies can become our memory nodes for this past time. Those excellent, highly-watched, and still stunning new Chinese films that are not mature enough are memories of the light and shadow time experienced throughout the year, and represent the future direction of Chinese films.
They are worthy of attention and understanding by more people.
This is also the original intention of our "Spiritual Appreciation of the Movie" since 2015: to discover and promote the excellent Chinese-language films of newcomers in the past year, as well as the works of young directors that are most encouraged and innovative inspiring in the past year.
Now, the appreciation of the mysterious movie spirit has been in its fifth year. Every year, we will choose the ten best works with the most sense of responsibility and courage, the most innovative and the most enchanting movie spirit from the first or second feature films created by young directors throughout the year.
This year's fantasy spirit appreciation, from the initial launch to the present, after dozens of film critics and judges rigorously screening and voting, we finally selected the ten young directors of this year to recommend it to everyone.
In early January 2020, we will also choose one of these ten recommended films, as the "Spiritual Appreciation of Movie" annual recommended film, awarding the director RMB 1,895 (the year of the birth of the movie), using the year of the movie as a number, as a symbol to encourage young directors to carry out independent creation and style exploration.
The annual recommended films of previous years were awarded to Bi Gan's " Roadside Picnic ", Zhang Dalei's "August", Huang Xinyao's " Big Fo Plass ", and Huo Meng's " Pass Zhaoguan ". So which movie will it be this year?
So, let’s take a look at the top ten new Chinese movies selected by the jury of the fifth fan movie spirit appreciation this year! The rankings are indefinitely ~
It should be emphasized that the ten movies we chose are all aimed at young Chinese directors who have only directed two feature films, similar to the new director award in the Movie Award.
So, although some Chinese-language movies are also very outstanding, they have been famous for many years and are not among the recommended ones. They are equally excellent, there is no doubt that. In addition, the scope of film selection is more concentrated on the category of more independent or art films, because they need our support and encouragement.
