Parallax Films to Sell Qiu Jiongjiong’s ‘Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting’ Ahead of Tokyo World Premiere

Parallax Films has acquired international sales rights to Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting, the new film from acclaimed Chinese artist-filmmaker Qiu Jiongjiong. The film will have its world premiere in the main competition section of the Tokyo International Film Festival. Qiu gained international recognition with his debut narrative feature A New Old Play, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Locarno Film Festival and was widely praised for its bold visual style and storytelling. Fuxi: Four Tales Of Feasting continues his exploration of Chinese culture and history through a unique blend of art and cinema. The film’s title suggests a focus on feasting and culinary traditions, likely reflecting Qiu’s signature approach to depicting everyday life with surreal and painterly aesthetics. Parallax Films, known for championing distinctive auteur cinema, will handle worldwide sales outside of China. The Tokyo competition slot provides a prestigious launchpad, and industry attention is expected to be high given Qiu’s track record. The deal signals growing international interest in Chinese independent cinema that pushes formal boundaries. As the festival approaches, all eyes will be on how this visually rich tale resonates with audiences and buyers in Tokyo.
