Mountain Cry (Larry Yang, China 2016) is the film adaptation of the book by Ge Shuiping, a rural drama set in China in 1984 that condemns intolerance and prejudices. This film, a national premiere in Vic, also portrays an intense love story.

The international jury of the Asian Summer Film Festival, composed by Quim Casas, Pemba Chhoti Sherpa and Andrew Leavold, awarded the film because of its profound story of survival and redemption, the expressivity of the images and how the extraordinary characters journeys are presented. The jury also highlighted the wonderful interpretation of its leading actress, Lang Yueting.

The feature documentary The Posterist, directed by Hui See-Wai and the protagonist of the film, the illustration artist Yuen Tai-Yung, received a Special Mention from the Jury for its passion and love shown towards the portrayed character and because it represented the union, at a cinema in Vic, between spectators and popular cinema from Hong Kong.

In its 14th edition, the festival consolidates as an event that brings together specialised films with international projection and it also works for cultural integration locally. A total of 10,000 spectators attended the screenings and the activities organised by the 2017 Asian Summer Film Festival.

The Nits a la Bassa, the most popular screenings of the festival, also presented martial arts and dance exhibitions and themed dinners with food from China, Japan, India, South Korea and Hong Kong, with 1,000 people every night.
