Zhou ZHOU (1984, China) has been the editor-in-chief and film critic of Chinese mainstream film media for many years. His debut film <strong>Meili</strong> (2017) won the Best Performer Award in the 12th FIRST International Film Festival Master Competition in China and it was selected for a dozen international film festivals, including in Greece, Sweden and Osaka. With his second feature film <strong>Only You Alone</strong>, he expresses deep concern for the marginal women disadvantaged in Chinese society with inner compassion.

Zhou Zhou

A young Chinese woman suffers from epilepsy. Her dreams die, but it only makes her stronger.

Epilepsy has forced Chi Li to give up her dance career. The disease means she barely counts in Chinese society. However, Chi Li (great role by co-scriptwriter Chi Yun) is not the type to take things lying down. Zhou Zhou's second feature film is an homage to a marginalised, strong young woman.
