Step into a captivating and meta-cinematic experience with Lou Ye's An Unfinished Film, a profound exploration of art, memory, and crisis. Set against the backdrop of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a film crew find themselves confined in a hotel near Wuhan while attempting to complete a project ten years after it was initially abandoned.

A captivating hybrid of documentary and narrative, the film ingeniously weaves together fictional elements with raw, handheld footage and fragments of the director's past works, blurring the lines between reality and art. In its depiction of the ebbs and flows of the creative process under unprecedented circumstances, it offers insightful commentary on crisis and creation.

And in a suitably meta development, An Unfinished Film has gone on to win multiple international awards following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, including Best Narrative Feature and Best Director at Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards.
