Today, the star-studded 2nd Hainan Island International Film Festival came to an end. This is also another grand event in the Chinese film industry after the 28th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival , which ended just two weeks ago. With such a high frequency of film festival density,
is really worried about the actresses who are busy preparing to go on the red carpet and the media people who have moved to the active city to follow up and report. Needless to say, , how many "Made in China" film festivals are there?
Shanghai International Film Festival, China Changchun Film Festival, Beijing International Film Festival, Silk Road International Film Festival, Pingyao International Film Festival, Hainan Island International Film Festival , these six film festivals are international film exhibitions approved by relevant national departments . Among them, the most well-known Shanghai International Film Festival is one of the 15 international category A film festivals (competitive comprehensive film festivals) approved by the International Film Producers Association (FIAPF). In addition, from north to south, from east to west, every provincial capital city basically hosts a local film festival, plus film festivals sponsored by various film and television channels, art schools, industry associations, etc., seem to be earlier Like the springing up of festivals and cultural activities in various places in the year, they have become a rigid demand for urban publicity and cultural exchanges.
Excluding the domestic booming film and television industry supporting facilities, overseas film festivals run by the Chinese are also numerous! China-US Film Festival, China-UK Film Festival, China-Canada International Film Festival, China-Australia International Film Festival, China-Korea International Film Festival, China-Korea International Film Festival, China-Africa International Film Festival, China-Ireland International Film Festival, German Chinese Film Festival , French Chinese Film Festival, Italian Chinese Film Festival, Russian Chinese Film Festival, Singapore Chinese Film Festival, Sri Lanka Chinese Film Festival, New Zealand Chinese Film Festival, Chinese Brazilian Film and Television Exhibition, Australian International Chinese Film Festival, New York Chinese Film Festival, Berlin Chinese The film festival...there are no way to count the fingers, not including the various Chinese units that have penetrated into the A film festival, the Chinese film honor awards, and so on. Nowadays, if a domestic film is not screened overseas, publicized or participated in a competition, I am embarrassed to recommend it to my peers!
is one of the five largest film festivals in the world, and the only category A film festival in North America " Montreal International Film Festival " (MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL), which has been held continuously for 42 years. A huge existential crisis had to be announced this summer to be closed for one year. Internal rectification and external financing, including dealing with various lawsuits caused by tax evasion and debt.
Although it is not the first time that Category A film festivals have been closed, it is an indisputable fact that with the global economic downturn, the film market in Europe and the United States has become saturated, and the impact of new media on traditional media is an indisputable fact. Mainland cinemas, like European cinemas, inevitably face the surging tide of closings; film and television companies with financing difficulties have begun to pledge, sell or routine their own assets; many film festivals do not hesitate to open their doors to welcome Chinese sponsors "Save the dying and heal the wounded"... But this local tyrant owes billions, billions of debts, what can I do to save you, my love?
That's right, with an annual box office contribution rate of more than 60 billion yuan, the world's second largest film market, and undoubtedly a big country in film creation and film consumption. The years are full of laughter and the future can be expected! But the cultural output, relying solely on volume and momentum to gain a thriving scene, is this really good?
The "Made in China" film festival requires painstaking efforts in terms of industry influence, absorption of excellent films, discovery of new film and television talents, and the gold content of Chinese competition works, especially the artistic exploration of local creations and broadening of international horizons. On the one hand, we should not stop at the level of government work and publicity.
has held the 13th "FIRST Youth Film Festival " with a clear positioning, drawing on the operation model of the world's premier independent film festival " American Sundance Film Festival " (sundance film festival), focusing on discovering Chinese youth Filmmaker’s debut and early works. The jury is composed of top Asian filmmakers to ensure the rigor and fairness of the evaluation system. The festival is not big, it is expensive!
" Pingyao International Film Festival " initiated and founded by film director Jia Zhangke, focuses on showing films from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Strive to be a film exhibition that respects movies, shares culture, respects movie fans, and respects the work of filmmakers, and establishes a global influenceMovie evaluation system. At present, the film festival has been held for three times, and it is thriving in exploration.
In 2018, the total number of screens nationwide exceeded 60,000 yuan, ranking first in the world. Regardless of the number of screens, film output or the number of employees, these data cannot represent the overall level and degree of industrialization of a country's film industry. Only by concentrating our efforts on major issues and vigorously supporting young Chinese filmmakers to enter the fast lane that connects with the world-class film and television industry is the ultimate way out for the industry!
In the future, when all the beautiful data enters the bottleneck period, it can be left to the future, and it can only be excellent film works. Meet , the future is promising!
