Shanghai International Film Festival Chinese director Zhong Kaifeng presented his debut feature “Atlantic Rhapsody” at the Shanghai International Film Festival‘s main competition press conference and post-screening Q&A, joined by producers Wang Tianxiao and Zhengjing and cast members Li Xueqin, Wang Yitong, Yin Fang and Huang Miyi.
The film is set in a declining industrial city in Northeast China and traces a young man’s search for his father, a small-time schemer who chased quick riches during the freewheeling capitalist surge of the late 1990s and early 2000s in Southern China. Its loose, time-skipping narrative assembles fragments of memory across different eras.
