Blooming Night
海上良宵
Directed by Bell Zhong
Description
Bell is a lonely, twenty-something street guy living in Shanghai. One day, while wandering around in a run-down and stinky under path, he sees a pair of bright red heels passing by. The color stimulates something deep in his heart. Out of curiosity, he starts to follow its owner across the city of Shanghai, and ends up in an old club. He discovers a forbidden community that he has never experienced, and hence begins to realize his hidden desires.
Director's Bio

He is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Film Production at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and is taught by celebrated independent filmmakers such as Todd Solondz and Alex Rockwell.

From rigorously meditative to annoyingly talky, the quality of talk — or in some cases the absence of it — distinguishes this set of uniquely visionary short works. At turns deeply personal to pointedly political, how the characters in these works “talk it out” invites one and all to follow along. — Abraham FerrerIn This Program: If I Were Any Further Away I’d Be Closer to Home, Death in a Day, Lily, Best Buds, Blooming Night, Prom, Please Hold, Selfie, The Pursuit of a Happy Human Life
