Its annual gathering for the film and television industry has become a magnet for Qingdao, Shandong province, to attract professionals, technologies and capital, local officials said. The city's West Coast New Area, where the film expo is held, is home to the Oriental Movie Metropolis, one of the largest film studio complexes in the world. In addition to its natural advantages, the Qingdao government's preferential policies and financial support have contributed to the vigorous development of its film and television industry. In August, the city's new area widened its policies promoting the film and television industry to cover the entire industrial chain, which comprises companies, key projects, cultural communication activities, financing, talent attraction and training, and the construction of one-stop service centers.
