Another is "(Sex) Appeal", directed by Taiwanese director Wang Weiming, which digs into the complex and subtle psychology of people who are involved in solving a rape case that happened in a university.

The organizer committee of BIFF said most debut films of this section are directed by young directors and the majority of these films deal with the troubles and wanderings of youth.

The Gala Presentation, which presents the most recent works of master directors, has invited Chinese director Zhang Yimou and Ann Hui to bring their new masterpieces.

Zhang Yimou's latest film "Coming Home" was a reunion with Gong Li after a long interval. This time, he abandoned commercial appeal to return to one of his favorite themes: a love story of a couple with twists and turns. It was also invited to the Cannes International Film Festival this year and earned acclaim.

"The Golden Era" by Ann Hui is a piece that winds up her directing career's apex. It is about a story of the prominent Chinese female writer Xiao Hong's life during the chaos of 1930s in China.

The screening of Ann Hui's new film is further more spotlighted after her earlier winning of the 2014 Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award of the Busan International Film Festival this year.
