Cuadrilatero a magnificent social, philosophical and political satire for us. We loved its minimal writing and visual language, making every single detail both expressive and accurate. The story is developed with finesse, style and humanity, including the worst aspects of it! Thank you to all the crew for this beautiful living artwork.
The jury found in Day Tripper by Chen Yanqi a wonderful chronicle of contemporary China, a country bristling with modernity yet paralysed by its past. With his irony-laced, deliciously cynical debut feature, situated between the universe of a Jacques Tati or a Roy Andersson, young Chinese director Chen Yanqi has, in our opinion, the makings of a great film auteur.
