Kicking off a short film career

China Daily  

Students perform at the closing ceremony of the 21st International Student Film and Video Festival, held at the Beijing Film Academy from Nov 13 to 20. It was when Huang Riwen, a native of South China's Guangdong province, started to study at the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in 2018 that she heard of the International Student Film and Video Festival, an annual event to boost cultural exchanges, for the first time. "Our teachers suggested it could be a good opportunity for us to watch and learn from the excellent short movies produced by fellow filmmakers in foreign countries." Although shooting a feature-length movie is a dream for most film students, Huang describes herself as a comparatively "practical" person, believing a quality short work is important to lay the foundation for the future.
