Chinese auteur Jia Zhangke has finished shooting a short film in Italy, commissioned and produced by Carlo Chatrian, director of the National Museum of Cinema in Turin.
Jia (“Still Life”, “A Touch of Sin”) revealed this at a wide-ranging masterclass organized by the Asian Film Awards Academy, and held at a packed Grand Theatre in Hong Kong March 15.
“My latest short film was my first experience of shooting in Italy,” said Jia. “And I think it is quite similar with shooting in Beijing and Shanxi. I do not treat myself as an outsider or foreigner. So I did not experience much obstacles.”
