- Parallax Films has boarded international sales for Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting, extending its representation of director Qiu Jiongjiong’s filmography to include his latest feature.
- Qiu Jiongjiong directed Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting, a film rooted in Sichuan folklore that unfolds across four millennia through feasts uniting the living, dead, gods, and ghosts.
- Lee Kang-sheng plays two grandmothers in the film, marking his first on-screen female roles, while Lee Hong-chi and Annie Chen also star in the cross-regional production.
- Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting is a Hong Kong-Taiwan-Japan co-production supported by international funds including HAF, MPA APSA Academy Film Fund, Red Sea Fund, Doha Film Institute, and NAFF at Bucheon.
- Parallax Films describes the film as a 'handcrafted mythic fantasy' using hand-painted scenic flats, handmade props, and theatrical staging to manifest Qiu’s cinematic imagination.
- Qiu Jiongjiong expands the film’s universe into physical space with Fuxi: A Feast For The Universe, a solo exhibition at A4 Art Museum in Chengdu featuring paintings, sets, and installations.
Why it matters: This co-production and its international funding support signal strong cross-border cultural collaboration in Asian arthouse cinema, while Parallax Films’ continued partnership with Qiu consolidates a distinct auteur-driven sales niche in the global festival market.
