Brisbane: Chinese productions received 13 nominations across seven films in the Asia Pacific Screen Awards 2019 nominees announced today.

Acclaimed filmmaker Wang Xiaoshuai‘s Di Jiu Tian Chang leads the tally with unprecedented spread of nominations across six feature categories: actor (Wang Jingchun), actress (Yong Mei), screenplay (A Mei, Wang Xiaoshuai), cinematography (Kim Hyunseok), directing (Wang Xiaoshuai) and Best Feature Film (director, Wang Xiaoshuai, producer Liu Xuan). This is Wang’s third film to be honoured at APSA following his Best Children’s Feature Film nomination for 11 Wo in 2011, and Best Performance by an Actress win for Lü Zhong in Chuangru Zhe in 2014. The film explores two families, linked through tragedy as their lives unfold against 30 years of Chinese upheaval.

Pema Tseden’s Qìqiú is nominated for Best Feature Film and Best Screenplay, in which the harmony of a family living on the Tibetan grasslands is disrupted when they must make a life or death decision. The film is Tseden’s fourth film to receive nominations at APSA following 2011’s Khyi Rgan and two films in 2015, Tharlo and Best Youth Feature Film winner Gtsngbo.

Cinematographers Yu Ninghui, Deng Xu received their first APSA nomination for Chun Jiang Shui Nuan, a film of unfolding new and miraculous beautiful images inspired by the 14th century scroll artwork that gives this immersive film its name.

Two Chinese films are nominated for Best Youth Feature Film: Bai Xue’s Guo Chun Tian, about a teenage girl smuggling smartphones across the border from Hong Kong, and Wang Lina’s Di yi ci de li bie, spoken in Uyghur language and set in a remote Chinese village as a young Muslim boy learns what it means to say goodbye.

One Child Nation (People’s Republic of China, USA), an investigation inspired by motherhood into the lasting effects of China’s one-child policy from directors Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang, is nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film.

China/NZ co-production Mosley been nominated for Best Animated Feature Film. Directed by Kirby Atkins, Mosley is a fantastical creature adventure.

The full list of nominees were revealed today alongside the Asia Pacific Screen Forum, an exciting program of public and industry events from November 18 culminating with the glittering APSA ceremony on Thursday November 21.

37 films from 22 countries and areas of Asia Pacific achieved nominations, drawn from the 289 films in APSA competition.

Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Adrian Schrinner said the Asia Pacific Screen Awards continues to grow in reputation as an event that brings together the many cultures and voices of the region. “For both the emerging and elite of the global screen industry, Brisbane becomes a hub for screen business each November.”

Chair of the Asia Pacific Screen Awards and its Academy, Michael Hawkins said “APSA ignites and honours cinematic excellence, across the vast region of Asia Pacific, and I congratulate all the nominees this year.”

“The Asia Pacific Screen Forum will present a program of events and opportunities to cement ties between the filmmakers and screen industries of the region, and unlock opportunities for the Australian industry to participate.”

“The spread of nominees encompasses some of the region’s most acclaimed auteurs and outstanding emerging voices. APSA is proud to foster their development and opportunities through the Asia Pacific Screen Forum, and their induction to the Asia Pacific Screen Academy.”

APSA represents the 70 countries and areas of Asia Pacific, covering one third of the earth, and encompassing 4.5 billion people and half the world’s film.

APSA is an international cultural program supported by Brisbane City Council and powered by Brisbane Marketing. APSA is endorsed by foundation partners UNESCO and FIAPF-International Federation of Film Producers Associations. The awards ceremony is an exclusive presentation unique to Brisbane.
