Macao International Film Festival

After a short but intense week, the third edition of the Macao International Film Festival, also known as IFFAMACAO, concluded last Friday with an award ceremony and a screening of Zhang Yimou’s Shadow, submitted this year to the Golden Globes in the Best Foreign category. The fact that the opening film was Green Book, an American production that received five nominations at the Globes, including Best Picture, Musical or Comedy is a perfect example of what this festival’s goals -   a  balance between what the East and the West have to offer, with an equal amount of films from both sides of the world.
