The film, which will have its international premiere in China's capital, is based on a re-imaging of the Italian literary masterpiece "The Decameron."

The selection of the Italian filmmakers work, carries the imprint of Marco Mueller, who was appointed as the Beijing festival's general advisor in February.

This year there is a 15-strong competition selection eligible for Tiantan awards; these include a more contemporary and wider range of titles than the four previous editions.

The Beijing International Film Festival runs from April 16-23.
