At the 2025 Golden Panda International Cultural Forum in Chengdu, Swiss actor and director Vincent Perez lit up the stage with a heartfelt message about the power of films to unite us. 🎬🌏
"From film stock to VR and AI, our tools evolve, but the heart of art never changes: emotion and communication," Perez shared, reminding us that technology can enhance stories, but feelings remain at the core.
Perez also revealed he had long dreamed of returning to the Chinese mainland, especially the vibrant city of Chengdu. His excitement was contagious, as he invited everyone in the room to become the director of their own lives.
Looking ahead, he encouraged young storytellers to root their work locally while aiming globally: "Imagine a cinema born in your neighborhood that speaks to hearts around the world!" 🤩
Whether you have a camera, a smartphone, or just a big imagination, Perez’s words are a call to action: grab your tools, share your story, and let your voice be heard. 🎥✌️
