Lights, camera, collaboration! The 11th Silk Road International Film Festival is in full swing, and its Belt and Road Film Cooperation Forum is stealing the spotlight. Imagine a cinematic Avengers-style team-up: industry leaders from over 30 countries are swapping scripts (and snacks?) to turn movies into bridges between cultures.
‘Cinema is our universal language,’ said one panelist, as attendees debated streaming trends and cross-border co-productions. The forum’s goal? To boost China’s film industry globally while creating a Netflix-worthy lineup of international projects.
From indie directors to studio execs, everyone’s vibing on one truth: Stories dissolve borders faster than a Marvel crossover. Plus, with China’s box office hitting record highs, this collab could rewrite Hollywood’s playbook.
Hungry for more? The fest also spotlights emerging filmmakers tackling themes like climate change and AI—proving that movies aren’t just entertainment, they’re passports to empathy.
