Lights, camera, action! 📽️ The 18th China Changchun Film Festival is rolling out the red carpet this week in northeast China, spotlighting the birthplace of the nation’s cinematic legacy. CGTN’s Guan Yang takes us behind the scenes of the Changchun Film Studio Museum—a treasure trove of over 200 classic films from 1949 to 2003.
🎞️ A Time Capsule of Cinema
Built on the original site of Changchun Film Studio (established in the 1940s), the museum isn’t just a nod to nostalgia—it’s where China’s film industry took its first steps. Think of it as the OG Netflix of its time, producing groundbreaking works that shaped generations. From black-and-white classics to color blockbusters, the collection is a binge-watcher’s dream!
🎬 Why It Matters
Dubbed the 'Hollywood of the East,' Changchun Film Studio is one of Asia’s oldest and largest production hubs. Imagine your favorite director’s origin story—this studio trained legends and pioneered techniques still used today. Whether you’re a film buff or a casual viewer, the festival’s mix of retro screenings and modern events (yes, TikTok-worthy moments included!) bridges past and present.
