🎬 Excitement filled Fuzhou, a city in the Chinese mainland, as it hosted the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival. Young cinephiles and industry pros gathered at the Belt and Road Country-Specific Promotion Forum for a major announcement: the launch of the new Belt and Road Film Industry Cooperation Platform.
🤝 This platform aims to connect filmmakers across Asia and beyond, creating fresh pathways for co-productions, talent exchanges, and shared stories. It’s a big step toward uniting creative voices from diverse cultures under one cinematic banner.
📢 Pok Borak, director of the Cinema and Cultural Diffusion Department at Cambodia's Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, shared that Cambodia-China film ties are stronger than ever. He highlighted recent successes and expressed optimism for future collaborations that will bring Khmer narratives to a wider audience.
🏢 Adding to the momentum, the Cambodian Asian Film Festival opened its new office in Fuzhou. This local hub will serve as a bridge for artists, producers, and festival-goers, making it easier to plan joint events, workshops, and screenings.
🌏 From emerging directors to seasoned storytellers, the new cooperation platform and office underscore a vibrant cultural exchange. As producers scout for the next big hit and fans gear up for cross-border premieres, the festival proves that film truly knows no borders.
