According to the official media CCTV, the film entitled “Wings of Song” was released on the 28th of last month and was organized and planned by the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, supported by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and created and filmed by Tianshan Film Studio.
The Global Times, an official media outlet, said that La La Land and Indian films such as “Baahubali: The Beginnin” inspired film studios such as Tianshan Film Studio.
CCTV also said that the film, “shows the splendid cultural traditions of Xinjiang’s ethnic groups and the happy and beautiful lives of its people.”
The British newspaper “The Guardian” pointed out that although nearly half of Xinjiang’s population is Islamic, the film shows no mosques and no Muslim women wearing veils or masks.
The Guardian further analyzes that China is orchestrating a public relations campaign to counter U.S. and Western accusations of genocide against the Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang.
The Guardian notes that Beijing authorities deny all allegations of mistreatment of Uighur Muslims and have recast Xinjiang as a haven for social cohesion and economic development, claiming that it has been freed from years of violent extremism thanks to well-intentioned state intervention.
The general director of “Wings of Song” is Gao Huanggang, directed by Abuliz, and features a cast of Han Chinese and ethnic minority actors. According to Gao Huanggang, the film is the largest investment of Tianshan Film Studio in recent years, and also has the most human resources.
According to the trailer, the characters of “Wings of Song” communicate mainly in Chinese.
