It started with a wave… literally! On Wednesday night, Sanya’s skyline glowed as the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) opened its doors under the theme “Ocean-born Visions, Boundless Light and Shadow”. 🌊🎬
Set against the sandy shores of Hainan Island in the Chinese mainland, the ceremony’s stage design mimicked rolling ocean waves, delivering major beach-vibe energy. Traditional Hainan song and dance performances added local flair, reminding us why this tropical hotspot is fast becoming Asia’s cultural hub.
Here are the highlights:
- Unveiling of the Golden Coconut Award jury members, featuring acclaimed filmmakers and industry pros 🥥
- Star-studded appearances from top production crews and emerging talent 🎥
- Countdown to Hainan Free Trade Port’s special customs ops kicking in mid-December—just two weeks away! ⏳
Whether you’re a cinephile or just love a good beachside showcase, the 7th HIIFF is serving up a fresh wave of creativity and cross-cultural vibes. Stay tuned for the films, panels, and red-carpet moments set to follow!
