The film will continue on to the Toronto Film Festival after its world premiere in Venice.

One of the most anticipated movies in Venice, Angels Wear White is not only the one film set completely in China, but also the only film from a female director in competition this year.

Director Vivian Qu returns to Venice after premiering her 2013 film Trap Street at the festival and returning the following year to serve on the jury.

In her new film Angels Wear White, two schoolgirls are brutally assaulted by a middle-aged man in a seaside motel. A teenage receptionist who witnessed the abuse says nothing over fear of losing her job. The young girls fall deeper into a net that offers them no protection and find it increasingly difficult to find their way out. The film is a striking portrait of women in contemporary China, something not often seen in film. Angels Wear White will continue on to Toronto after its world premiere Thursday in Venice.
