Biography
Biography
His first feature film, Nana (2012), received a nomination at the Five One Project Awards. Yang decided to adapt Ge Shuiping's 2005 novella Mountain Cry, which won a Lu Xun Literary Prize, after first reading it in 2008, two years after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy. The story of a mute girl in a remote village, treated as an outsider until befriended by a young boy, resonated with his own feelings of isolation after returning to China in 2004 and struggling to establish his voice as a filmmaker. A social drama, Mountain Cry was the closing film at the 20th Busan International Film Festival in 2015.
