Benjamin Loeb “Zi,” the latest film from director Kogonada, has been picked up by Parallax Films for international sales outside North America, it was revealed on the sidelines of the Shanghai International Film Festival.
The Hong Kong-set feature follows “Columbus” and “After Yang” from one of contemporary American independent cinema’s most distinctive voices.
Shot over three weeks on the streets of Hong Kong, “Zi” stars Michelle Mao, Haley Lu Richardson and Jin Ha as three wandering souls caught in a night that ripples across time. The film follows a young woman who, visited by visions of her future self, encounters a stranger whose appearance reshapes the course of her evening – and possibly her life. Kogonada, who also wrote and edited the film, built the project around Hong Kong’s particular relationship with memory and movement, taking three days to identify a geography the team could navigate largely on foot.
