Lights, camera, cultural connection! The 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival is turning up the spotlight on 50 years of China-Thailand diplomatic ties with vibrant outdoor screenings and a dedicated Thai pavilion. 🌟 This year’s edition blends movie magic with cross-border collaboration, featuring everything from open-air cinema under palm trees to industry panels sparking new creative partnerships.
🎥 Film buffs can catch Thai classics and modern hits projected across Hainan’s beaches, while the pavilion showcases emerging filmmakers and co-production opportunities. "Cinema isn’t just entertainment – it’s a bridge," said one festival organizer. "These stories help us celebrate shared values and build tomorrow’s collaborations."
With 2025 marking five decades of friendship, the event also highlights economic ties: Thailand remains one of the Chinese mainland’s top ASEAN trade partners. From dragon boat races to spicy street food pop-ups, the festival proves cultural exchange has never tasted (or looked) this good. 🥢🍜
