The initial idea of Ice Games goes back to 2004, when SARS was in the air in Beijing, and the streets were empty. The whole city was in panic. Friends gathered at my place because all work has been suspended. The idea of making a film was actually to pass time and not be too bored. Ice Games is a story about loneliness and independency, about two women, walking the streets at night, telling irrelevant stories, playing irrelevant games; and two men: The one is lost in dreams; the other lost his love due to indecisiveness. Some parts of the film are close to reality, and most people were playing just themselves, or rather, the way I see them. Half of the scenes were shot in a place called Wanghe Bridge. Our luck was that even though the shooting covered two seasons, the bridge was still under construction and never fully operational. The whole film took two years to finish; part of the reason was the change of seasons, but for the most part it was due to my laziness. Because there was no pressure. (Zhang Hui Lin)
