Student Film Festival Catches Eyes
2001-01-01

"How many times have you experienced broken love?"?The sharp question from an agitated Beijing University student to a young critic drew a burst of applause from the crowd debating the merits of the movie "Warm Summer,"?one of the entries of the recent Beijing Film Festival for University Students (FFUS), according to Beijing Today.

¡¡¡¡Themed "Cheap Tickets, Best Movies",? this year's FFUS ran from April 24 to May 9, with showings of 10 foreign and 29 contemporary Chinese films at China Films Archives and several universities.

¡¡¡¡"Warm Summer"?was one of the most controversial movies on the FFUS schedule. It is a story of a taxi driver's complicated love affairs with several girls. As the comments grew more heated, the film's director, Ning Ying, coolly held back, observing with great interest the conflict of ideas between students.?The arguing out of sincere searching and thinking is exactly what I want to hear,?Ning said.

¡¡¡¡FFUS was founded in 1993 and has been held seven times since its inception. The event is held near May 4, Youth Day. Participating films are screened at China Films Archives and several universities in Beijing.
