 In some ways, the inability to screen "Seafood" in China led Zhu to direct his second feature, "South of the Clouds" (2004) within the state-run film system, so that he would have a work that he could show to family and friends.The film did well in the film festival circuit, however, winning a special jury prize at the Venice International Film Festival's "Cinema of the Present" competition and a grand jury prize at Cinemanila.The film also screened at a handful of other major festivals, such as Karlovy Vary, and Vancouver (out of competition).
