Buddha Mountain, directed by Li Yu, has been awarded as the best film of the official section of the Casa Asia Film Week that has been held in Barcelona between June 6th and 12th, 2011. Of the 30 movies on display, 11 competed in the official section and were evaluated by a jury composed by Isaac Monclús (cultural promoter), Rubén Lardín (film critic and writer), Eulàlia Iglesias (film critic and professor at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili), Ángela Martínez (Head of the Audiovisual and Multimedia Section at the Contemporary Culture Center of Barcelona) and Manel Ollé (professor of East Asian Cinema in the Degree of East Asian Studies jointly organized by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra). According to the official press release, the jury of the festival chose Buddha Mountain as the winner of the 2011 edition for the following reasons: for the capacity of the director Li to express the feelings of the contemporary Chinese youth; for being able to produce a lively piece of cinema without falling into lecturing excesses; and for being able to portrait a series of characters from different generations that are trying to find their own ways in a country in constant transformation. Buddha Mountain is a 135-minute drama filmed in Chengdu, capital of the Sichuan province, whose principal actors are Sylvia Chang, Fan Bingbing, Chen Po Lin, Fei Long, Jin Jing, Fang Li and Bao Zhenjiang.
