Lights, camera, connection! As world cinema celebrates its 130th birthday and Chinese cinema marks 120 years, the 2025 Golden Panda International Cultural Forum is spotlighting how film unites us all. 🎥✨
This star-studded event brings together filmmakers, thinkers, and cultural icons to explore cinema’s superpower: breaking down walls between civilizations. Through its special program ‘Dialogue of Icons: Through the Lens, Bridging Civilizations’, CGTN takes viewers on a journey from Hollywood to Hengdian – showing how camera angles can become common ground.
🔍 Why it matters: In an era of TikTok trends and AI-generated content, the forum asks: ‘Can 24 frames per second still change the world?’ From silent film reels to VR experiences, participants are mapping how storytelling evolves while keeping its magic to connect humanity.
🌐 Cultural remix alert: The event features mind-blowing collabs – imagine wuxia meets Westerns, K-drama pacing fused with Bollywood flair. It’s not just about subtitles anymore; it’s about creating a new visual language for Gen Z’s borderless worldview.
