Chinese director Bi Gan just added another milestone to his rising career, snagging the Special Award at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for his visually striking film Resurrection (Kuang Ye Shi Dai)! 🎥 The 35-year-old auteur, known for pushing cinematic boundaries, delivered a heartfelt speech thanking the festival, his cast, and cinema lovers worldwide. 💬
Premiering late Thursday, Resurrection is a 2-hour-40-minute epic that kicks off with a nostalgic silent-movie vibe before diving into Bi’s signature poetic storytelling. Festival organizers praised it as a bold evolution of his style, blending sensory depth with creative innovation. 🌌
Bi first rocked Cannes in 2015 with his debut feature, and nearly a decade later, he’s cemented his status as a trailblazer for Chinese arthouse cinema. Critics say his work is redefining how global audiences experience film—one frame at a time. 🎞️
