Having lived and studied in Hong Kong for years, Tang Yi received the Art Development Council's Fresh Wave assistance to make ALL THE CROWS IN THE WORLD

Tang Yi once said in a Ming Pao interview, "If I didn't come to Hong Kong, I might not be making music.  Hong Kong is a free place that makes music naturally happen."

The 74th Cannes Film Festival announced its results. The Tang Yi directed Hong Kong Fresh Wave short film ALL THE CROWS IN THE WORLD won the Cannes short film award.

Representing Hong Kong, ALL THE CROWS IN THE WORLD won the Best Short Film Palme d'Or prize. It was the first Hong Kong short film to win at Cannes. Director Tang Yi appeared the award in person and said that the award was a "pleasant surprise". ALL THE CROWS IN THE WORLD was in this year's Fresh Wave International Short Film Festival competition. Tang Yi has already won Best Director and Best Screenplay Award at Fresh Wave. ALL was 15 minutes long, in it a high school girl was invited to a mystery party by her cousin. At the party were all greedy and rich middle aged men, only a mild mannered and introverted guy in glasses was different. Thus they escaped the dinner together.
