Ma Ning

The Unseen Sister

Growing up in a border town, Qiao Yan (Zhao Liying) became a well-known actress after years of hard work, but was careful along the way under heavy pressure. With an anonymous blackmail message, a dusty past becomes her new shadow. Meanwhile, her sister (Xin Zhilei), who lost contact with her years ago, suddenly shows up. Things may seem coincidental, but there is a bigger crisis hidden behind. The movie is adapted from Zhang Yueran's novel.

Useless

Observations of three varied corners of China’s garment industry: workers in a large-scale production line factory; a designer who rallies against the mass-machine-production of clothes and has created the eponymous hand-made collection called ‘Useless’ (Wuyong) for Paris Fashion Week; and finally the simple life of increasingly out-of-work tailors in small town Fengdang.
