Zihan Geng

China 2023 92 min Mandarin, Korean with English subtitles

15-year-old Xian decides to live with her father whom she hardly knows. There, she meets her stepsister, the fascinating 18-year Mingmei.

Young director Gen Zihan’s first feature captivates us with its brilliant visuals and performances. The digital image challenges aesthetic standards by creating a singular visual world. A Song Sung Blue is the intimate portrayal of a young girl torn between her natural introversion and her teenage impulses that will be revealed through a summer she will always remember.
