Cross Over, a co-production by Chinese and Japanese
film makers, will open the 20th Tokyo International Film Festival
in October, organisers said on Monday at the festival's first press
conference.
The film is directed by Chinese director Jin Chen and stars
Japanese actor Kiichi Nakai and Chinese actress Miao Pu.
Based on a true story, the epic concerns the trials of a couple
and their three-decade relationship in the early 19th century in
China.
Meanwhile, a special exhibition will be held in memory of
Cannes-winning Taiwan director Edward Yang, or Yang Dechang, who
died in late June.
The nine-day festival runs from October 20-28.
