The winners will be announced at the closing ceremony on the night of April 23.

1.Back to 1942
China
Director: Feng Xiaogang
Back to 1942 is directed by Feng Xiaogang and stars Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan and Chen Daoming among others.
It reflects a catastrophe that took place in 1942. The Sino-Japanese War has got to a point of stalemate, a great drought has hit Henan province and many people have left their hometowns to flee from the famine.
The main character Lao Dongjia is a typical feudal landlord, but owning to the fact that he has no way of combatting this disaster, the likes of which have never been seen before, he is also forced to flee the famine, personally witnessing the sad departure of his family, his wife, son and daughter in law. His experiences are a perfect example of what 3 million people went through.
The film tells the story of the disaster from four different points of view, the government, international journalists, religious people and normal citizens.
