CHINESE actress and director Xu Jinglei has been invited to be a member of the jury at this year’s Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Xu’s latest film “Dreams May Come” will be screened at the festival, which opens Nov. 17.

Derek Elley, one of the festival organizers, sent the invitation to Xu. Elley said 22 Chinese movies have been selected for special screenings out of competition at the festival.

Xu’s two other movies, “I Love You” and “The Train Heads to Spring,” are also on the list.

The festival has become the Balkans’ primary showcase for the work of new and emerging filmmakers. The event features an international section, a panorama of Greek films, the New Horizons program, the Balkan Survey and numerous retrospectives and tributes to leading figures. (SD-Xinhua)
