秋实

"Autumn Harvest" draws inspiration from the artistic essence of Qi Baishi's ink painting techniques and 8K technology, pushing the "combination of meticulous and freehand brushwork" to its extreme. Particularly, the "meticulous depiction of insects and plants" is vividly lifelike, highlighting the artistic charm where boldness reveals intricate details, blending the real with the abstract in its conception, and featuring cleverly crafted plotlines. Although the visual elements are all "inspired by nature," they are creatively imbued with soul. Coupled with the innovation of being the world's first 8K production, it is only natural that the film captivated the judges. The film tells the story of a katydid striving to store enough food for its autumn hibernation. Under the threat of natural predators and the teasing of its peers, it ends up with nothing. In a desperate situation, it unexpectedly stumbles upon delicious food. In terms of expression, the film utilizes emotion and rhythm, depicting the "law of survival" of small insects through their struggles with one another, all without any dialogue. The film premiered in Beijing on December 28, 2018, and was selected for the Generation competition at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival in 2020.
