At this year's Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF), Swiss director Cyril Schäublin made waves by highlighting the fearless creativity of young Chinese filmmakers. 🎬 "Surprising," he called their work—especially one standout film that embraced bold choices in storytelling and structure. "It made really bold decisions… with time, with the world," Schäublin told CGTN reporter Zhang Meng, adding, "That's what global cinema needs right now." 💡
The Forward Future section, where Schäublin served as a jury member, spotlighted 15 debut or sophomore films selected from over 500 submissions across nearly 90 countries. 🌏 From experimental visuals to narratives that redefine tradition, these films prove China's rising directors are unafraid to push boundaries. 🚀
With BJIFF 2025 already buzzing, film buffs and creatives worldwide are tuning in to see how these fresh voices will shake up screens next. 🍿 Will your next favorite movie come from this bold new wave?
