The Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) turned the spotlight on some incredible cinematic milestones this year. In a vibrant celebration, the festival honored 120 years of "Dingjunshan," China's earliest black-and-white film, alongside 130 years since the groundbreaking "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat." These timeless works have paved the way for cinematic storytelling and continue to inspire creators around the globe. 🎬
Looking to the future, BJIFF also embraced modern film innovations with the tech-driven "Ne Zha 2."
