German composer Thies Mynther is making waves at the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) with his Golden Coconut Award-nominated short film "Ploo" – and he's equally impressed by China's movie-loving crowds! 🎥
In an exclusive chat with CGTN's Zhang Meng, the first-time visitor to tropical Sanya gushed: "Chinese audiences bring next-level energy! They're attentive, curious, and totally dialed into global cinema." 🌟
The sound design maestro also shouted out HIIFF's unique vibe: "Hosting this cultural exchange on a paradise island? Genius move. It adds magic to every screening." The festival runs through December 12, blending palm trees with red-carpet glam. 🌊✨
