Shanghai International Film Festival China’s “Atlantic Rhapsody,” directed by Zhong Kaifeng, claimed the best picture prize at the 28th Golden Goblet Awards, capping the Shanghai International Film Festival‘s awards night on June 20.
The Chinese debut feature, which also won best cinematography for Hao Jiayue, led a ceremony that spread recognition across countries and competition sections.
“Atlantic Rhapsody” had its world premiere at the 28th edition of SIFF, where Zhong discussed at a press conference how he shaped the film’s atmosphere through natural lighting and ambient sound design. The film is set in Northeast China and stars Yin Fang, who described the central character as “a figure of that era, someone who wanted to make a big splash but ended up being toyed with by the times.”
