Gods of Sui

Over the academic landscape of a prestigious University, two groups of students struggle to find their identity within the social hierarchy of their circle of friends. One group, The Gods of Sui, struggles to find the upper hand and unravels to find the power within their own game, along with their stance of claiming their respect within the University. Meanwhile, a rival sorority attempts to establish their own authority within themselves, and finding difficulty in having faith in their leadership. As the seed of doubt starts to work its way within each group, the tensions and relationships become more questioning as they search for the trust they long for in each other. As the two stories entwine, the question starts to beg whether or not they truly have the upper hand in overcoming the rules of their own game.

Revive

Revive is one of five short films within the Jia Zhangke-produced omnibus film Where Has Time Gone? with contributions from each of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). In Jia’s segment, a Chinese couple in the ancient town of Pingyao attempts to breathe new life into their old love as they ponder having a second child. Pingyao, home to the film festival Jia has co-founded, is a highly picturesque UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Jia humorously plays with a very recent dilemma – the second child policy dates from only 2013 – in a setting itself forcibly revived from history.
