Chinese actor Jackson Yee’s 2025 film Resurrection continues to make waves across the globe with a screening set to take place at the Klikfilm Showcase in Jakarta on January 24 and 25 as well as the FDCP World Cinema 2026 in Philippines from 28 Jan to 3 Feb.
Written and directed by Bi Gan, the epic sci-fi drama which had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival – where it won the Prix Spécial – established Yee’s awe-inspiring acting range as he tackled five different characters.
A compelling, dystopian film that explores protagonist Miss Shu (Shu Qi) in a future where most of humanity has lost the ability to dream, Yee plays an inhuman figure who can still experience dreams.
The film which is structured into six chapters to reflect to the six senses – sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind – saw Yee earn praise, acclaim and awards for his nuanced performance as the undeniable anchor of the film.
Resurrection which was theatrically released in China in November and in France in December continues to be discussed by fans worldwide with a new promotional poster of Jackson Yee as one of his characters Qiu Moyun – from the “auditory chapter” of the film – adding to the excitement.
