Online premiere of the Backup Earth, winner of the Best Screenplay of the 13th BJIFF Samsung Mobile Short Film Unit. Comment: A 10-minute long almost solo performance that takes place in the space station. It’s full of suspense, twists and turns, and comedy. On one hand, the director managed to find the best storyline through careful consideration about mobile film shooting. On the other hand, the short film shows the creator’s sophisticated sci-fi screenplay writing skills and the director’s strong creative confidence in the genre, which is quite rare among young Chinese directors. Besides, the short film demonstrates more diverse possibilities of Chinese sci-fi films. Director: Liu Xiaoli, shot with Galaxy S23.
