Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Taiwanese feature “The Mimicry” was named best picture at the first edition of the Cinema at Sea – Okinawa Pan-Pacific International Film Festival.
The festival ran Nov. 23-29 in Okinawa, Japan. The fantasy-drama film is adapted from a short story by Kao Yi-Feng and directed by Chung Yu Lin. “The film employs a magical yet realistic style, vividly portraying apartment stories by utilizing anthropomorphic techniques that mirror the protagonist’s observations,” said a jury headed by Iran’s Amir Naderi.
The festival’s biggest winner was “Abang Adik,” directed by Malaysia’s Jin Ong, which collected three prizes.
It won the audience award, the jury award, and the best leading performance award, which went to actor Wu Kang-Ran. (Wu won the same prize last weekend at the Golden Horse Film Awards.) The American documentary “One With the Whale,” directed by Jim Wickens and Pete Chelkowski, also received a jury award.
