A strong country not only needs a strong industrial foundation, the cultural industry is also an important part of it, such as Hollywood movies in the United States, Japan's animation industry, and popular Korean dramas are all representatives of the cultural industries of various countries.
At the same time, with the rise of China, China's cultural industry has gradually begun to show its vitality on the world stage, attracting more and more people from all over the world, such as the Hainan Island International Film Festival to be held in early December. Speaking of the International Film Festival, this event, which is held by various countries today, has a history of less than a hundred years. After all, the film itself is a product of modern times, but it may be difficult for many people to imagine that the initiator of the International Film Festival was The man known as the father of the International Film Festival is a World War II war criminal. Although he is a household name, few people know his identity. He is Mussolini. Today, the world’s three major international film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. The Venice Film Festival has the longest history, dating back to 1932. At that time, Italy was still under Mussolini's dictatorship. The common people dared not speak up, and the economy was smashed.
However, a sluggish economy does not mean that the cultural industry is dying, but sometimes it promotes its development. People are no longer busy making money (because there is no money to earn), and instead begin to accept the idea of having fun in time. This is similar to the sluggish real economy in previous years, but the cultural industry is booming. At that time, the European and American capitalist countries were experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis. Among them, the United States was the most serious, and Europe, which had close trade relations with the United States, was also greatly affected. This was the historical background at that time. People began to lose information about capitalism, and even Americans started to emigrate to the emerging country-the Soviet Union, so Europeans began to doubt life, which provided breeding ground for certain militant parties. Like his good brother Hitler, Mussolini also attached great importance to propaganda work. Hitler was able to mobilize the power of a country to shoot his party's propaganda film. Mussolini founded the first international film in Venice, Italy. Festival, the highest award was also named the Mussolini Cup (later renamed the Golden Lion Award). Perhaps Mussolini’s original intention was not simple, even for some invisible political purposes, but we have to admit that the Venice Film Festival has indeed made important contributions to the development of world cinema.
started with the Venice Film Festival and opened the golden age of world cinema (30s-60s). Countless masters were born and they were on the podium. They were recognized and praised by the film industry and audiences all over the world. With the development of the film festival, in addition to issuing important awards, the film festival itself has also become a cultural symbol, a platform for learning and communicating with filmmakers. Xu is awaited. In 2018, the Venice International Film Festival was selected as the first member of the International Film Producers Association Film Festival Committee. Since the reform and opening up, China’s film industry has developed vigorously. Therefore, there are many yellow-skinned figures at the Venice Film Festival. For example, "City of Sadness" directed by Hou Xiaoxian of Taiwan in 1989 won the highest honor of the Venice International Film Festival—— Golden Lion Award. Since then, Chinese filmmakers have become regular visitors at the Venice Film Festival, such as Zhang Yimou’s "Autumn Jurisprudence", Zhang Yuan’s "New Year’s Home", Jia Zhangke’s "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and so on. With "Sunny Day", won the actor award.
However, as the saying goes, it is not to be indecent. Chinese people continue to participate in international film festivals held in foreign countries. Naturally, they should also be the host to host China’s international film festivals. In addition to the already mature China Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award, China Hong Kong Golden Statue Award, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, Shanghai International Film Festival, Beijing International Film Festival.
