Due to technical difficulties encountered during post-production, “Yi miao zhong” (“One Second”) by Zhang Yimou unfortunately cannot be presented on February 15 in the scope of the Competition section of the Berlinale. The competition will thus feature a total of 16 films vying for the coveted Bear awards.
The festival will instead show another film chosen from Zhang Yimou’s previous body of work at the Berlinale Palast on February 15. Further information will be announced as soon as possible.
Zhang is the Chinese director of films such as “Hero,” “The House of Flying Daggers” and more recently “The Great Wall” with Matt Damon.
