Chinese director Xiaolu Guo found a more entertaining reason to be excited over getting a movie into Sundance than any of her peers at Saturday's Egyptian Theatre screening of her semi-narrative/semi-documentary "How is Your Fish Today?"

Once a film gets into Sundance, she said, it is instantly pirated with the festival's logo on the packaging. There will now be millions of copies of her film floating around, she joked.

During the Q&A, she let the audience know that many of the crew members also appeared in front of the camera. In China, she explained, you don't need to move the camera while filming, you can just start the camera and leave it. One scene, featuring a peasant family eating a fish head in silence, played out between a husband and wife while no crew members were around.
