-Username: Cindy ((Director: YU Fan, Screenwriter: YU Fan, Producer: ZHOU Tong )
Comments:
With a new and special entry point, it shows an important part of contemporary life that has not been fully represented by other films. In the form of genre films, the topic of Internet violence is discussed. The innovation way of its audio-visual expression has also led to full expectation.

-The Wreck (Director: PENG Chen, Screenwriter: PENG Chen, YANG Xiaoyin, Producer: YANG Xiaoyin )
Comments:
The theme of ocean thriller is very unique in the domestic film industry. The ambition of exploring this new genre has earned it originality. With the intact storyline, creative but clear idea, and the combination of different ways of expression, the story teller has made this work very expected.

“Special Mention”
-The Game (Director: JIN Junqi, Screenwriter: JIN Junqi)
