Despite her busy schedule filming Keanu Reeves' Man of Tai Chi and recovering from a car accident, singer-actress Karen Mok Man-wai stuck to her plan of meeting fans in Shenzhen at the weekend.

During her first public appearance on the mainland since launching a DVD of the Taipei leg of her Hui Wei concert tour, Mok mingled with fans and shared video excerpts. Some lucky fans won autographed DVDs and posters.

Mok told fans not to worry about the injury she suffered in the car accident. "It's good that I've starred in a few action films. I reacted quickly and protected my body from being hit too hard," she said.

To celebrate her 20th year in show business next year, Mok will embark on a concert tour. The award-winning singer also revealed that she will release a new studio album before the end of the year. (SCMP)

Chen Kaige's superbly crafted drama about internet and media abuse has a cast at the top of its game.

FBA: Full Circle review

Comedy-drama about rebellious oldies is a beautifully played heartwarmer.

FBA: The Locked Door review

Well-composed but dramatically bloodless drama centred on a small-town single mother.
FBA: Meet in Pyongyang

Glossy China-North Korea co-production is intriguing but short on human drama.

ScreenDaily: Peter Chan starts work on American Dreams, FBA

"This type of film allows almost anyone to be a director," veteran mainland Chinese filmmaker and Academy Award nominee Gu Changwei, 54, told AFP.
"I can see feedback right after people have watched and I am able to know what is good, and what can be improved," said Gu. "Micro films present a real, direct communication between the director and the audience".
