Teeth of Love, a low-budget film about love and pain,
has been invited to the 31st Montreal World Film Festival, the
film's production team recently revealed.
Coincidentally, the film is scheduled to premiere in Beijing on
August 24, the same day when this year's Montreal International
Film Festival will commence.
The film is the directorial debut of Zhuang Yuxin,
vice-professor at the prestigious Beijing Film Academy. As a loyal
follower of Ingmar Bergman, Zhuang Yuxin paid tribute to the late
Swedish director with his exploration of female love psychology,
and his pervading use of middle distance and close-up shots.
Chinese filmmakers have won several prizes at events over the
past years. For example, last year Chinese actress Ni Ping won a
prestigious Best Actress award for her role in "Snow in the
Wind".
