IDFA2015 is proud to announce the Official Selections to be screened at this year’s Film Award & Festival in Kobe, Japan.

Official Selection – Newcomer Feature
The Land of Many Palaces
Directed by Adam James Smith & Song Ting

In Ordos, China, thousands of farmers are being relocated into a new city under a government plan to modernize the region. “The Land of Many Palaces” follows a government official whose job is to convince these farmers that their lives will be better off in the city, and a farmer in one of the last remaining villages in the region who is pressured to move. The film explores a process that will take shape on an enormous scale across China, since the central government announced plans to relocate 250 million farmers to cities across the nation over the next 20 years.
