Jury Citation
In Pegasus 2, sound is closely fused with image and character and forms a structural part of the film's expression. Music and sound effects are well layered, and the sound design is distinctive, inventive and spatial. It conveys the characters' psychology and emotions and drives the plot and the audiovisual dynamics, reflecting the sound team's high standards in sound aesthetics.
Pegasus 2: Synopsis
Five years ago, in a heroic final push at Bayanbulak, legendary racer Zhang Chi (Shen Teng) won the race but lost everything. Because the lead seal was never found, the organising committee cancelled his result. He opened a driving school to make a living, only to be maliciously attacked online, and ended up broke and unknown. One day a phone call rekindles his passion for racing. The director of a mobility-scooter factory on the brink of closing (Jia Bing) is a fan of Zhang Chi and offers to sponsor his team for one last Bayanbulak race. Li Xiaohai (Fan Chengcheng), an exceptionally talented employee of the factory, grows quickly under joint training from Zhang Chi, Sun Yuqiang (Yin Zheng), Ji Xing (Zhang Benyu) and Liu Xiande (Sun Yizhou), a rookie student who has failed his driving test for years.
