Director Damo Yang joins Directors Notes today for a double-header in the form of two music videos for pop sensation Roy Wang and indie outfit Backspace. Titled Fabulous Nuts and Six-Eyed Dragonfly respectively, both videos showcasw Yang’s broad abilities to shift and react to each artist’s own musical sensibility. Fabulous Nuts sees Roy Wang star as a bombastic magician on a dreamlike stage, using magical powers to manipulate his expressionistic environment, while Six-Eyed Dragonfly, on the other hand, shows a soft exploration of personal comfort and redemption set amongst a community on the outskirts of Beijing. Both videos are wildly different yet equally well-constructed and that is down to Yang’s ability to adapt. Wanting to dig into differing approaches for each video, Dn caught up with Yang to discuss their economically contrasting yet equally intense and time-sensitive productions.

While the specific sociopolitical moment (the re-emergence of censorship in China affecting the line-up of this year’s Berlinale with eliminating Zhang Yimou’s “One Second” from the official competition due to “post-production issues” being only the most prominent example) surrounding the world premiere of “So Long, My Son”, the newest film by the Chinese 6th generation director Wang Xiaoshui, might be forgotten in the next couple of months, the film itself, the skill it was filmed with and its social relevance are here to stay with us for quite a period of time.
“So Long, My Son” is screening at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema
The world premiere at Berlinale was crowned with the double Silver Bear for both of the leading actors and more of the festival exposure is likely to occur for Wang’s three-hour epic, examining the social and humane cost of the decades...

L.O.R.D.: Legend of the Ravaging Dynasties
As China steps into the 3D animation and sci-fi fantasy genre, L.O.R.D.: Legends of Ravaging Dynasties aims to make a strong impression.
Based on a novel of the same title by Guo Jingming, the film spotlights a magical land called Odin which is separated into four counties – water, fire, wind, and earth. In each county lives a group of soul masters who protect the land with their powers from others seeking more power and domination.
L.O.R.D. is being touted as China’s most ambitious film project to date. Not only will it be the country’s first motion capture animation film (the entire movie is done in CGI) and first Western fantasy film, being handled mainly by Original Force with its CEO Harley Zhao personally supervising the animation. The production is also a...
