Int'l film festival in Beijing boosts cultural exchange

China Daily  

For Shen Shanshan, 38, April is the "most important time of the year" as she is enjoying the annual Beijing International Film Festival despite her busy life. According to Sha Dan, a staffer of the China Film Archive, films are the carrier of Beijing's cultural inclusiveness, and film exhibitions can realize cultural exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations. "We hold an average of 10 film exhibitions every year, and the market is becoming increasingly vigorous," said Yang Yang, assistant director of the Beijing Broadway Cinematheque, adding that the presence of government departments, embassies, multinational corporations and film agencies in Beijing has created an open, global atmosphere, making it convenient to organize international film screenings. "Films can reflect and inspire various aspects of human life, making them a universal language that resonates with people across the world," said Sun Xianghui, director of the China Film Archive, while speaking at a forum during the 13th BJIFF.
