French film producer Ron Dyens, a jury member at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival, dropped some serious truth bombs about storytelling's power to connect us all. 🎬 In a chat with CGTN's Zhang Xiaohe, he compared great films to "universal languages" that make audiences from Paris to Shanghai laugh, cry, and cheer at the same moments.
💡 Why it matters: With streaming platforms turning the world into one big watch party, Dyens says creators now have "a golden ticket to rewrite cultural rules." His take? Stories about family bonds, personal growth, and overcoming odds hit home everywhere – no subtitles needed.
🌏 The festival itself is low-key becoming the Coachella of cross-cultural cinema, showcasing films from over 90 countries and regions. Dyens geeked out about discovering "mind-blowing narratives from places I've never even Googled" – proof that fresh perspectives are just a screen away.
Next time you're doomscrolling Netflix, remember: that K-drama or French indie might be someone's bridge to your world. 📱✨
