Event Information
We’re closing our festival true to our new tradition of revealing the winner of this year’s audience award as well as publicly announcing the recipient of the Berlin Activist + Feminist Film Fund.
The main film of the night Vivian Qu’s Angels Wear White. A Chinese neo-noir thriller set in a coastal town in China made it to many festivals – this is the Berlin Premiere.
In a small seaside town, two schoolgirls are assaulted by a middle-aged man in a motel. Mia, a teenager who was working on reception that night, is the only witness. For fear of losing her job, she says nothing. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Wen, one of the victims, finds that her troubles have only just begun. Trapped in a world that offers them no safety, Mia and Wen will have to find their own way out. Vivian Qu’s delicate neo-noir drama concentrates on the perspectives of the complex female figures to expose patriarchal structures.
