How can cinema not only survive but flourish in the digital age, where artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the rules? This unprecedented challenge to the century-long art form has sparked a heated debate at the 15th Beijing International Film Festival.
Despite the phenomenal success of Ne Zha 2, China's highest-grossing blockbuster, industry insiders at the recently concluded 15th Beijing International Film Festival called for greater support for mid- and small-budget films.
As one of the most anticipated films of the upcoming May Day holiday, Trapped — which recently won two Tiantan Awards at the 15th Beijing International Film Festival — is set to hit domestic theaters on Thursday.
The 15th Beijing International Film Festival concluded on Saturday with a star-studded closing ceremony that unveiled the winners of the Tiantan Award, the festival's top honor.
