Brazilian filmmaker Petra Costa, a jury member at this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, was astonished by Shanghai’s futuristic vibe. Strolling through streets filled with zero-emission new-energy vehicles, she felt like she was in a real-life sci-fi movie! 🚀
Reflecting on the past, Petra recalled her mother’s 1980s visit when China lagged behind Brazil in many ways. Today, the transformation is nothing short of a miracle. In a CGTN interview, she remarked, "China's progress in such a short time is remarkable."
Looking ahead within the BRICS framework, Petra hopes to see more cinematic collaborations that bridge cultures and ignite creative partnerships between Brazil and China. Her insights inspire not just filmmakers, but entrepreneurs, students, and adventurers eager to witness global change.
