Producers of the Chinese film "Buddha Mountain" ("Guanyin Shan") have released some behind-the-scenes stills and a movie poster in preparation for its screening at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

The film will compete for the top prize against 14 other films at the festival, which runs from Oct. 23 until Oct. 31.

"Buddha Mountain" revolves around a retired Peking Opera singer, played by Sylvia Chang, and her young tenants, played by Fan Bingbing, Chen Po-Lin and Fei Long.

Director Li Yu has said the film aims to explore the meaning of love and life.

The film has earned Sylvia Chang a Best Actress nomination at this year's Golden Horse Awards, scheduled for next month in Taiwan.

Chinese mainland release date of the film has yet to be announced.
