Chinese director Zhang Hanyi takes an unexpected turn with his latest feature film effort, “The Walking Bird,” which makes its appearance as an in-development project at the Hong Kong – Asia F…
His previous film, 2017’s “Dragonfly Eyes,” was one of the most unusual and stylish films of the year from anywhere in the world. It told a disturbing narrative through extraordinary found-footage obtained from hundreds of real-world CCTV cameras, and won the FIPRESCI and Ecumenical Jury prizes at the Locarno Festival that year.“The story focuses on a 28-year-old woman who has difficulty handling the changes in her life.
“Cortez’s language is very evocative and attractive. I was inspired to find out more and, for my research, went to Beijing Zoo where there is a cassowary. Having seen it for real, my story took on a new direction,” says Zhang. Ma Xiaotian, who is a lecturer at the Shanxi Film Academy and general coordinator of the Pingyao Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Film Festival Market, is set at Zhang’s producer. She came on board in 2021 at concept stage and has overseen first drafts of the screenplay as well the project’s early appearance at the HAF Lab.
