"Our duty is to report the facts accurately." A festival promo trailer has debuted for a Chinese indie drama titled The Best Is Yet To Come, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jing Wang. This is premiering at the Venice Film Festival this month, then will play at the Toronto Film Festival. Set in Beijing in 2003. Society is restless with excitement; everyone is eager to prove themselves. The internet has yet to take over. Newspaper is king. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed journalism intern Han Dong decides to change the fate of 100 million people with a single article. This film is inspired by true events. Jing Wang worked as an assistant director for Jia Zhangke for years, who states that "[Jing Wang's] perspective on the world is determined and twofold: the change of the world depends on the efforts of every individual, and the vitality of cinema lies in the continuation of consciousness." Starring Bai-Ke, Miao Miao, Songwen Zhang, and Yang Song. Well this looks like an extraordinary ode to journalism! A must see film in Venice & Toronto. ›››
