Vesoul Asian Movies Film Festival 2015 Program

Tribute :Wu Tianming, father of the so-called Fifth generation of Chinese directors died on March 4th 2014. FICA Vesoul granted the director a Lifetime Award in 2007 while holding a retrospective of his complete filmography. He honoured us with a deep friendship. We are paying tribute to his memory by screening his latest movie as a director, Song of the Phoenix and as an actor in Full Circle.
 
Celebration:France-China 50 : in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China, FICA Vesoul organizes the biggest Chinese movies retrospective of whole France with 36 screened long features. 

View : For 21 years, FICA Vesoul is closely following Iranian Cinema's progress. We established a strong link towards the country's (independent) cinematography. This year, we focused on Independent Iranian Cinema with a selection of six movies.

Faithfulness : Laos - Cambodia - Vietnam, three countries France has had close relation for many years. Since FICA Vesoul's first edition, we are closely following Vietnamese Cinema. In 2011, we did a first retrospective about Cambodian Cinema and supportedKavich Neang's extraordinary Where I Godocumenary which has been selected ever since in many wolrdwide film festivals. This year, we are programing a follow-up of these two countries, linked to world's first-ever Lao Cinema retrospective with 3 recent and 2 1980s classic movies, including The Sound of Gunfire in the Plain of Jars, never-been-shown since it has been banned at its release back in 1983. 
 
Sharing : one of FICA Vesoul's main targets is to share, to reveal images from afar, especially for Young Audiences and via Japanime. Movies which can be enjoyed from 3 - 103 years. It's our philosophy to share, discuss, open debate, animate, celebrate...living all together !
