Concrete Jail
Directed by 朱平
Ah Shun used to work under Liao Zai's team, but three years ago, he disappeared without a word. Now, he contacts Liao Zai seeking work, but he comes with a wanted status. Unlike Liao Zai, who can talk incessantly, Ah Shun appears reserved and mysterious. He doesn't mention his experiences from the past three years, and Liao Zai doesn't pry either. Yet, Liao Zai senses that Ah Shun is truly desperate. In this heavily regulated construction site, Ah Shun fears his wanted status being exposed. With Liao Zai's help, he manages to pass through various checkpoints on the site safely. Finally reaching the work area, they are both caught off guard when the police unexpectedly show up.
In August 2022, Giloo pioneered the "Giloo Fest 2023," launching an innovative experiment combining crowdfunding with short film proposals. The event attracted 343 Chinese-language short film project entries from around the globe, with 20 teams ultimately advancing to the finals. Thanks to the encouragement and support of numerous participants, we are thrilled to announce the grand premiere of the first wave of results this April! These nominated works cover a wide range of subjects, deeply reflecting issues of concern in the contemporary Chinese-speaking world. Come quickly and see the brilliant works from these teams!
