"The Summer Is Gone"

"The Summer is Gone," written and directed by Dalei Zhang as his directorial debut, is a Chinese semi-autobiographical drama film that surprisingly won Best Feature Film and Best New Performer at the 2016 Golden Horse Awards. It follows a nostalgic story of a 12-year-old boy (played by Kong Weiyi) living in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 1994 when many State-owned enterprises were transitioning to private companies, affecting his father's job and their lives. With this film, director Zhang Dalei turned his own memories of his father and family into lyrical prose poetry, and the child star Kong Weiyi's performance has stunned all in the film industry.

The film’s release date is on March 24, 2017.
