France- and Dubai-based sales agency Cercamon has picked up international rights to Chinese crime drama “Streetwise,” which will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, in the Un Certain Regard section. Before that, Cercamon has released a trailer.
The film (aka “Gaey Wa’r”) is the debut feature effort of Na Jiazuo, who is a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy and had previously directed shorts. That makes “Streetwise” a candidate for the Camera d’Or awarded to the best first film in any of Cannes’ official and sidebar sections.
“Streetwise” was executive produced by Guan Hu, who directed record breaker “The Eight Hundred” and “Mister Six,” and has a track record as a discoverer and supporter of new directing talent.
The film is a detailed look at the lives and predicaments of young people in China in the early 2000s who did not migrate to the big cities.
