Australian Film Institute—AFI Award, Best Screenplay in a Short Film |  |
Coming of age during the era of the Beatles, three girls take on an array of challenges: play with a boyfriend becomes decidedly serious; a family meal is fraught with dysfunction and non-communication; and one girl's growing popularity threatens her friendship with another. And darker lessons still await the heroines of this award-winning short film by Jane Campion (Sweetie, The Piano).

Farewell My Concubine (simplified Chinese: 霸王别姬; traditional Chinese: 霸王別姬; pinyin: Bàwáng Bié Jī; literally "The Hegemon-King Bids Farewell to His Concubine"), a 1993 Chinese film directed by Chen Kaige, is one of the central works of the Fifth Generation movement that brought Chinese film directors to world attention. Like other Fifth Generation films, Farewell My Concubine explores the effect of China's political turmoil during the mid-20th century on the lives of individuals, families, and groups, in this case, two stars in a Peking opera troupe and the woman who comes between them.
