The Great British Online Film Festival is a showcase of the very best in British cinema, including a range of films that have been previously unavailable for release in China, which is capitalizing on a surge in popularity of British film and TV in China.
To celebrate the festival, organizers have produced a short film, Freeze Frame, featuring up-and-coming stars from both nations. Directed by award-winner Anthony Fabian, Freeze Frame is a romantic comedy that travels between London, Edinburgh and Shanghai.
The film stars award-winning British actor Freddie Fox and Chinese actress Tian Yuan, who plays the daring young Chen Fei. Taken halfway across the world on a secret mission, and to honor a promise, Fei runs into unexpected troubles that require her to play detective and secretly chase the handsome stranger she meets on a plane.
The premiere is being held this Monday, and although tickets are not available to the general public, we've got a couple to give away. To enter:
