Twenty-seven-year-old Chinese director Chen Jianying won the Golden Palm Award for Short Film The Water Murmurs at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. The work from the Gen-Z director is the third Chinese short film that won at Cannes.

Following an acceptance speech at the awards ceremony, Chen also expressed her gratitude in Chinese: "I want to thank my motherland, which inspired me to give birth to the idea in the first place."

在颁奖典礼上发表获奖感言后，陈还用中文表达了她的感激之情：“我想感谢我的祖国，是她激发了我创作的灵感。”

"There is a deep connection between me and this poetic and affectionate land. I cannot feel this connection anywhere else," Chen added.

The 15-minute film, featuring Annabel Yao as lead female character, was produced by Chinese studio Tian Hao Entertainment, which was dipping its toe in the short film waters for the first time. The film is set in a riverside town and takes place as a meteorite is about to hit the Earth and trigger the eruption of underwater volcanoes.

"When the power of nature stands in front powerless human beings, what we can do?" Chen told the Sanlian Life Week Magazine in an interview, revealing that the COVID-19 pandemic was the inspiration for the film.

“当大自然的力量站在无能为力的人类面前时，我们能做什么？”陈在接受《三联生活周刊》采访时透露，疫情是这部电影的灵感来源。

According to the magazine's comment on Chen and the film, the young director's pursuit of aesthetics and a determined directing style made the film a success. The film is filled with the director's feelings of contradictions, loneliness, intuition and love.
