Hey everyone! The 27th Shanghai International Film Festival kicked off on June 14 at the Shanghai Grand Theatre. With over 400 domestic and international films lighting up screens, this event isn’t just about movie magic—it’s a celebration of culture, history, and creativity 🎬!
This year, the festival commemorates the 130th anniversary of world cinema and the 120th anniversary of Chinese cinema, drawing a global audience and inspiring film lovers around the world.
Claudia Anna Michal, a Polish student at Hainan University, shared her thoughts with CGTN: "What I appreciate about the Chinese cinema industry is that it is not afraid of highlighting the society's successes and achievements. I think it builds strong morals among the people and gives them hope." Her perspective resonates with many young cinephiles who see films as a way to unite cultures and nurture positive values.
Whether you’re a tech-savvy movie buff or simply someone who loves a story that uplifts, the festival offers a cool mix of classics and modern masterpieces. Keep your eyes peeled for more highlights as the festival runs through June 22!
