In the same style as the anthology films "New York, I Love You" and "Paris, I Love You," two Chinese filmmakers have profiled a Chinese city that was hit by a massive earthquake last year.
"Chengdu, I Love You" was conceived as a tribute to the southwestern city in Sichuan province that was decimated by a 7.9-magnitude quake in May 2008, leaving nearly 90,000 people dead or missing, Hong Kong director Fruit Chan said.

Huang Bo - Film's champion underdog
Over the past decade, mainland actor Huang Bo has acquired a dedicated following in China by portraying apparent low lives. And he has won a cult status for supporting roles in popular comedies, such as "Crazy Stone", "Big Movie" and "Big Movie 2 - Two Stupid Eggs". But it is only recently that he has finally, as he says, "tasted what it feels like being a superstar."

Royston Tan returns to his roots
No more feature films, albeit temporarily. This was what local filmmaker Royston Tan had in mind as he made his return with short film "Little Note".
In the past three years, Tan has produced two consecutive feature films (the getai-inspired "881" and "12 Lotus") which further enhanced his reputation as one of Singapore's top filmmakers, and many wondered whether he would return to his roots - short films.

Short film launched to encourage Singaporeans during tough times
