EstAsia Cinema d'Oriente Festival in Reggio Emilia started its 2021 edition on 14 June with the screening of a timeless classics: Fruit Chan's “Made in Hong Kong“, best film at the Hong Kong Film Awards 1998.
This year the Festival was held in three different locations and over two weeks, due to the strict rules of admission, for covid-19.The selection gave the opportunity to the audience to see previews and films that are otherwise difficult to find in Italy and tell stories of worlds culturally distant from ours, thus offering various insights into the relations between East and West.
Here are the winners of the three categories:
GOLDEN KAIJU
The Golden Kaiju is the best film award. It consists in a work created for the occasion by local artist Hu-Be and it is awarded by a jury made up of three members, chosen among the artists and critics of the area.
