Famed producer Mike Medavoy was honored at the Locarno Film Festival on Tuesday with the Raimondo Rezzonico career prize, while the winners of the Open Doors co-production lab focus on India awards were announced. The German-Russian co-production 4 Tage im Mai (4 Days in May), a film about a standoff between German and Russian soldiers at an orphanage in the closing days of World War II, was the main film attraction Tuesday, screening in a nearly full Piazza Grande. Director Achim von Borries, who presented the film along with half a dozen cast members, was taken aback by the picturesque venue and the size of the crowd, telling the crowd in German, “What a magnificent place to show a film.”

The Shanghai Film Group has teamed with Mike Medavoy to make a feature film and six-hour miniseries, both set in WWII China. The film will be an adaptation of The Cursed Piano, a novel by Chinese author Bei La. It is a love story set against the backdrop of Japanese-occupied China at a time when Shanghai offered refuge to Europe's persecuted Jews. The miniseries will be based on Daniella Kuhn's story Tears of the Sparrow, and that will focus more closely on the Jewish experience in Shanghai. The film and mini will be made in concert and will share story elements and characters. Medavoy and Shanghai Film Group president Ren Zhonglun announced the project at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
