Each film showing will include a Q&amp;A session, allowing audience members to question the filmmakers, who are all flown into Beijing to be on hand for the event, in an informal setting. The festival organizers and committee members include renowned filmmakers (and BFA graduates) like <strong>Tian Zhuangzhuang</strong> (<em>The Blue Kite</em>, <em>The Horse Thief</em>) and <strong>Xie Fei</strong> (<em>Girl from Hunan</em>, the leading filmmaker of the Fourth Generation). It&rsquo;s also rumored that <strong>Jia Zhangke</strong> and <strong>Zhang Yimou</strong> might participate in the judging and awarding of certain films. The BFA International Student Film Festival runs from Nov 9-15 at the Beijing Film Academy. Tickets are <strong>RMB 3</strong> and are available at BFA.
