The top 10 Chinese films of 2015 were announced by critics and filmmakers in Beijing on Friday.

"Mr. Six," directed by Guan Hu and starring Feng Xiaogang, was named the No. 1 film for 2015 in the world of Chinese films. It was followed by Jia Zhangke's "Mountains May Depart" and Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Assassin."

Others included in the top 10 list were: Jean-Jacques Annaud's "Wolf Totem," Cao Baoping's "The Dead End," Dorothy Chen's "Our Times," Xin Yukun's "Deep in the Heart," Tian Xiaopeng's "Monkey King: Hero is Back," Raman Hui's "Monster Hunt" and Adrian Kwan's "Little Big Master."

The selection – the fourth of its kind – was sponsored and organized by China's Taiwan and Hong Kong Film Study Society and the Chinese Film Critics Society. Thirty-seven of China's top film critics voted for films in the first round in March in Beijing, Hong Kong and Taipei. The final vote was cast in June by a voting committee led by award-winning Taiwanese filmmaker Wang Tung. Mainland director Zhai Junjie, Hong Kong director Ho Yim, Taiwan director Chu Yen-Ping and other filmmakers and critics were also on the committee.

Zhang Sitao, honorable president of China's Taiwan and Hong Kong Film Study Society and head of the organizing committee for the event, said more co-productions between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan or Hong Kong/Macao had been selected for the top 10 list, which indicated a trend of strengthening cooperation in Chinese film world.

A ceremony to honor the top 10 Chinese films for 2015 will be held in Shenzhen in October.
