The main poster of the 4th Hainan Island International Film Festival features a film reel and Hainan’s typical element



Film festival set to illuminate global appeal of island province, Chen Bowen reports in Haikou.



When people think of Hainan province, the first image that pops into their heads tends to be that of coconut trees and beaches. That is why they featured in the main poster of the 4th Hainan Island International Film Festival, which will be held in Sanya, Hainan, from Dec 3-10.



In the festival’s poster, the coconut tree and beach “are reminiscent of the tropical island’s high-quality ecological environment”, Wang Dongju, general manager of Hainan Island International Film Festival Co, said at a news conference on Nov 15.



Adopting a bold contrast of yellow and green, it resolves around the theme of “light”, which means to “live toward the light and move forward with the shadow”.



The white light and a man’s silhouette in the poster symbolize movies. And the silhouette alone represents filmmakers who are relentlessly striving forward. In the man’s hand, light gradually turns into a film reel and illuminates the coconut tree, “which stands for the integration of the film industry and Hainan that can brighten up the sky and create dreams”, Wang explained.

“The poster integrates film with Hainan’s typical elements, adopts a minimalist design style and carries on the main visual tone of the previous three film festivals,” she added. “With a love of movies and yearning for Hainan, we hope to bring people from all over the world a wonderful journey of light and shadow on the island.”



“The HIIFF will make an effort to present Chinese and Hainan characteristics by deeply integrating film, music, technology and other elements, truly making it a festival for global filmmakers, Hainan residents and tourists, as well as an influential cultural event for exchanges and cooperation,” said Zhang Jun, head of Hainan’s provincial film bureau.



This year’s HIIFF Golden Coconut Awards set up three categories, namely feature films, documentary features and short films. Among them, a group of newcomers will premiere in the feature film category, and more young directors are choosing the festival to make their debut. They pay attention to various themes with diversified perspectives.



In the category of short films, more Chinese creators living overseas join the competition and present their views on global topics. Some university students from across the world opt to express themselves through the creative medium of short films.

This year’s Golden Coconut Awards collect outstanding films produced after Aug 15, 2021, from around the world. Selection started in July and ended in September. A total of 3,761 films from 116 countries and regions have been submitted. Among them, 3,050 films were registered from outside China, accounting for 81.1 percent of the total. In the competition unit, 12 feature films, eight documentary features and 12 short films are expected to be shortlisted.



The jury committee of the Golden Coconut Awards will select the best film, best director, the jury award, best actor, best actress, best screenwriter, best documentary feature and best short film, among other awards from the lists of finalists.



This year, the HIIFF has invited Marco Muller, an internationally renowned curator, film historian, critic and film producer, to serve as the film festival’s artistic director, and join the curatorial team of seven international film selection art consultants to choose the highest-quality films for the festival.



Muller has served as the artistic director of several international film festivals, including the Venice International Film Festival in Italy. The Italian filmmaker has also helped acclaimed Chinese directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Jia Zhangke and Chen Kaige, get selected for international film festivals, making an important contribution to the international profile of Chinese films.



The much-anticipated event will also hold public screenings across the island. Some 80 to 100 films are expected to be exhibited and organized across the six categories of “gala, fest best, Asian new directors, panorama, new horizons and classics”.



Filmmaker Marco Muller is set to participate in the festival that will be held from Dec 3-10 in Sanya.



“It aims to carry on the uniqueness and openness of Hainan’s screenings, enhance the public’s participation, and attract more people to learn about the HIIFF,” said Zhang.



“A notable feature of the HIIFF is its internationalization,” said Xia Fei, chairman of the Hainan Federation of Literary and Art Circles. “We have invited many internationally renowned filmmakers to help raise the international profile of Chinese films. The confirmation rate of international guest invitations could reach 95 percent. With the film festival, we also hope to enhance the cultural and global influence of Hainan Free Trade Port.”



“The HIIFF is one of the leading projects for Hainan to build a free trade port with Chinese characteristics,” said Zhou Chunhua, head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Sanya Municipal Committee. “The 4th HIIFF is an international large-scale cultural event and an important platform to showcase the construction achievements of Hainan Free Trade Port, as well as the image of Hainan and Sanya.”



“By holding this event, we hope to display Hainan’s unique geographical and cultural advantages, attract more production teams to come and make movies in Hainan, and boost the local touri** and cultural sectors, as well as other related industries,” said Wang. “At the same time, we have further enhanced the film festival to create an international cultural exchange platform.”

陈博文在海口报道，电影节将展示这个海岛省份的全球吸引力。



当人们想到海南省时，首先映入脑海的往往是椰子树和海滩。这就是为什么他们出现在第四届海南岛国际电影节的主海报上，该电影节将于12月3日至10日在海南三亚举行。



海南岛国际电影节有限公司总经理王冬菊在11月15日的新闻发布会上表示，在电影节的海报中，椰子树和海滩“让人联想到热带岛屿的高质量生态环境”。



它采用了黄绿的大胆对比，围绕“光”的主题展开，意为“朝光而生，随影而行”。



海报上的白光和男人的剪影象征着电影。而这幅剪影本身就代表着不懈努力向前的电影人。在男人的手中，光线逐渐变成了一个电影卷轴，照亮了椰子树，“这代表着电影产业和海南的融合，可以照亮天空，创造梦想，”王解释道。



她补充说:“海报融合了电影和海南的典型元素，采用了极简主义的设计风格，并延续了前三届电影节的主要视觉基调。”“带着对电影的热爱和对海南的向往，我们希望为来自世界各地的人们带来一段奇妙的海南岛光影之旅。”



海南省电影局局长张军表示:“海南国际影展将通过深度融合电影、音乐、科技和其他元素，努力呈现中国特色和海南特色，使其真正成为全球电影人、海南居民和游客的节日，以及具有影响力的文化交流与合作活动。”



今年的HIIFF金椰子奖设立了三个奖项，分别是剧情片、纪录长片和短片。其中，一批新人将在剧情片类别中首映，更多的年轻导演选择在这个电影节上进行自己的处女作。他们关注各种主题，视角多样。



在短片类别中，更多居住在海外的中国创作者参加比赛，表达他们对全球话题的看法。来自世界各地的一些大学生选择通过短片这种创造性的媒介来表达自己。



今年的金椰子奖收集了2021年8月15日以后制作的世界各地的优秀电影。挑选从7月开始，到9月结束。共有来自116个国家和地区的3761部影片入围。其中，境外注册电影3050部，占总数的81.1%。在竞赛单元，预计将有12部故事片、8部纪录片和12部短片入围。



金椰子奖评委会将从入围名单中选出最佳影片、最佳导演奖、评审团奖、最佳男主角、最佳女主角、最佳编剧、最佳纪录片长片和最佳短片等奖项。



今年，HIIFF邀请了国际知名策展人、电影历史学家、评论家和电影制片人马尔科·穆勒担任电影节的艺术总监，并加入由7位国际电影甄选艺术顾问组成的策展团队，为电影节挑选质量最高的电影。



穆勒曾担任多个国际电影节的艺术总监，包括意大利威尼斯国际电影节。这位意大利电影人还帮助张艺谋、侯孝贤、贾樟柯、陈凯歌等备受赞誉的中国导演入选国际电影节，为中国电影的国际形象做出了重要贡献。



这场备受期待的活动还将在全岛举行公众放映。预计将有80到100部电影被展出，并被组织在六大类别中:“晚会、最佳电影节、亚洲新导演、全景、新视野和经典”。



“它旨在延续海南放映的独特性和开放性，提高公众参与度，吸引更多的人了解海南国际影展。”张说。



海南省文学艺术界联合会主席夏飞表示:“海南国际经济学院的一个显著特点是国际化。”“我们邀请了许多国际知名电影人来帮助提高中国电影的国际知名度。国际嘉宾邀请的确认率可达95%。通过举办电影节，我们也希望提升海南自贸港的文化和全球影响力。”



三亚市委宣传部部长周春华表示:“海南国际自由贸易港是海南建设中国特色自由贸易港的先导项目之一。”“第四届海南国际自由贸易港展是一项国际性大型文化活动，是展示海南自由贸易港建设成果、展示海南和三亚形象的重要平台。”



“通过举办这个活动，我们希望展示海南独特的地理和文化优势，吸引更多的制作团队来海南拍电影，促进当地的旅游和文化部门，以及其他相关产业，”王说。“与此同时，我们进一步加强了电影节，打造了一个国际文化交流平台。”
