The ongoing 15th Beijing International Film Festival has made history by inviting post-production staff from various films to walk on a red carpet spanning a river in Tongzhou District, honoring these unsung heroes of the film industry.
Guests, including renowned directors and actors, as well as behind-the-scenes professionals from film and television, strolled along the red carpet over the Grand Canal's Tongzhou section on Sunday, celebrating their contributions to cinema.
"It gives me a sense of the industry's overall environment to invite film's post-production technology companies like us to the festival. The increasing importance attached to the post-production sector shows the development of the film industrialization," said Quan Hongkun, general manager of a Beijing cultural technology company.
At the festival, representatives of young actors and industry pioneers also engaged in discussions about how to effectively tell China's stories well through films.
"The invitation for post-production staff to walk the red carpet over the canal is a tribute to the Beijing International Film Festival as well as the masters behind the scenes in the film industry. It also reflects the integrated and symbiotic development of culture and ecology in Tongzhou, Beijing's sub-center," said Dai Yingchun, deputy head of the Publicity Department of Tongzhou Communist Party of China Committee.
The festival takes place from April 18 to 26.
