Growing up, it was always the most &#039;open&#039; city in China\u2014the most permeable to the outside world,&quot; Shan says in a statement. &quot;But by early 2024, when we were in development, Shanghai was also living in the shadow of the 2022 lockdown. I wasn&#039;t interested in making a film about that. I was interested in making a film that could only exist in a Shanghai that had lived through that period\u2014where ephemerality wasn&#039;t just something that lovers in a novel possess. It was also in the air.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> \u00ab&quot;It was completely incomprehensible to me&quot;: why producer Miranda Bailey went abroad to support an independent film from Greece.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Claire Foy performed &quot;Someone Like You&quot; with an audience member grabbing the microphone at the SXSW festival in London.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Thailand launches Bangkok International Content Market in a bid to become &quot;Asia&#039;s content hub.&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Movie <em>\u00abEphemera\u00bb<\/em> , Premiering at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, this film tells the story of two women, 23-year-old Asher (Yvonne Shuyu Zhang) and her hip-hop dance teacher Tori (Shu-Yi), wandering the streets of Shanghai on one of Asher&#039;s last evenings before returning to Los Angeles. This ordinary stroll turns into something more as they share stories and laugh in this love story between the two women.<\/p>\n<p> In the exclusive video below, Usher and Tori walk and talk about their hopes and thoughts, before the moment ends with a tender embrace.<\/p>\n<p> As for what kind of impression audiences should get from the film, Shan says, &quot;By the time viewers get home, parts of the film will be forgotten. And parts may linger in their memory\u2014perhaps inexplicably, perhaps years later, or perhaps just for a day. I&#039;d rather not dictate which parts belong where.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Film premiere <em>\u00abEphemera\u00bb<\/em> will be screened on Sunday, June 7, as part of the American Feature Film Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival.
