Zhou plays Jia Jia, a television host whose outwardly composed career masks a marriage to a wildlife conservationist that is coming apart. Fumbling the term \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d for \u201cartificial talent\u201d during a live panel, she initially puts the slip down to exhaustion, but the moment marks the start of symptoms that grow harder to ignore. As her condition advances, the story folds in her strained bonds with her daughter, played by Wen Qi, and her father, played by Fifth Generation filmmaker Tian Zhuangzhuang. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Toronto berth marks a return to the festival for Chan, whose \u201cShe Has No Name\u201d screened last year. Fred Tsui, founder and chief executive of Moebius Entertainment, first worked with Chan as executive producer on that film and its international rollout, a partnership that carries over to \u201cThe Road Not Taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoebius closed the deal for \u201cThe Road Not Taken\u201d before Tsui\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/fred-tsui-executive-director-hong-kong-international-film-festival-society-1236820176\/\">appointment as executive director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society<\/a>. Tsui is stepping back from new sales projects as he moves into that role, though \u201cThe Road Not Taken\u201d was already committed to Moebius beforehand, and the company will steer its international sales campaign and coordinate with the filmmakers on rolling the film out globally. Tsui is set to begin as HKIFFS executive director on Sept. 23, taking over from Albert Lee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cPeter Chan is a filmmaker of extraordinary emotional precision and global reach,\u201d said Tsui. \u201cFollowing our work together on \u2018She Has No Name,\u2019 it is a pleasure to continue that relationship with \u2018The Road Not Taken.\u2019 Its world premiere at TIFF offers an exceptional platform for the film\u2019s first encounter with international audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoebius will unveil \u201cThe Road Not Taken\u201d for buyers and programmers during the Toronto market, taking on sales duties in every territory beyond the film\u2019s home turf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoebius Entertainment, based in Hong Kong, represents distinctive Asian and international titles, working with filmmakers and producers to craft tailored festival, sales and distribution plans in markets worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong-based Moebius Entertainment has boarded Peter Ho-Sun Chan\u2019s new film, \u201cThe Road Not Taken,\u201d picking up international sales rights ahead of its bow in the Special Presentations lineup at the Toronto Film Festival.
