The 2014 Shen Zhou International Film Festival was succesfully held on July 22nd in Virginia (USA). To fulfill the audience’s hope that more people will be able to see these movies, Shen Zhou screened them at the film festival. To thank the audience for support, Shen Zhou Film Studio decided to debut its newest film, “The Stories of Two Artists,” on Shen Zhou Web Theater.
On July 22nd, Shen Zhou International Film Festival was held at the Angelika Film Center. Four films, including movies and documentaries, about cultivation stories of Falun Gong practitioners were shown. The first movie “Shake the World” revealed the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners who cling to their beliefs and stand up for their convictions in mainland China. The second movie “Forever” tells the true story of a young practitioner’s mental and physical changes after practicing Falun Gong. However, he was killed one day before his wedding, leaving behind his grieving fiancée and parents.

Following its premiere during Third Shen Zhou Film Festival, Shen Zhou Film Studio latest movie “Forever” has begun its worldwide screening in Fuleai (ふ れ あ い) Tokyo on August 30. Please stay tune for the coming show time at other cities.

After 3 months, nine episodes of the TV Series”Gathering in Toronto” has been completed on August 8, in Toronto and will air very soon. It displays the lives of Chinese immigrants in Toronto.
After the opening ceremony of The Third Shen Zhou Film Festival, the audience was captivated by it’s most recent film. In a scene from “Forever” the music was calm and penetrating while the bride wearing a white wedding dress was gently running from a distance through a winding path of snow in the month of June. It was very quiet in the assembly room. A simple story but vivid life details had the audience laughing at times. However, during the course of the story, they couldn’t help but to shed tears. After the film, there was a very big applause for that. Because of the limited seats in the theater, many watched the film by standing.
On July18th,2009, near Zhudi Station of Tokyo, a striking big green poster with Japaenese letters caught people’s attention. On it was written,”The Third Shen Zhou International Film Festival”.
