iQIYI Deepens Its Presence at BIFF With AI Agent Nadou Pro and a New Film Screening

2026-04-17 20:45 Last Updated At:21:05

BEIJING, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 16, iQIYI, China's leading online entertainment platform, celebrated the opening of the 16th Beijing International Film Festival (BIFF) in an expanded role, adding AI production capabilities to its longstanding presence.

This year, iQIYI continues as the festival's exclusive high-resolution online video platform, exclusive "Cloud BIFF" partner, and video membership partner – a relationship it has held for several consecutive editions. This year marks a notable step up, with "Nadou Pro", iQIYI's AI agent platform, being named BIFF's official professional film and TV production agent.

AIGC productions selected across the Game, Animation, and Film Unit will be made available on iQIYI, bringing festival-selected titles to wider audiences.

"Out of the Past" Earns Spotlight at BIFF

One of the highlights of iQIYI's BIFF presence this year is "Out of the Past", a film developed under the company's Emerging Film Project – an initiative dedicated to discovering new directing talent and producing original content.

Directed by Bolun WANG, the film centers on a professional "sleep tester" – someone hired to spend the night in properties with reported paranormal activity – whose work gradually unravels a long-buried family tragedy. The story blends suspense-thriller tension with themes of grief, self-reconciliation, and female resilience.

As one of seven unreleased domestic films chosen for their first public screening through the Beijing Screenings program, the film has also earned a spot in the festival's "Most Anticipated Young Directors' Work" showcase, where it will be presented to cinema chains, film companies, and media on April 20 in Beijing, a recognition that underscores iQIYI's track record in backing emerging filmmakers.

The Emerging Film Project has greenlit more than 40 projects, with nine titles currently streaming on iQIYI across a range of genres. 

Exclusive BIFF Benefits for VIP Members

iQIYI is extending the festival to its broader subscriber base through an integrated online and offline experience. A dedicated "Cloud BIFF" section streams the opening and closing ceremonies and red-carpet events live in high definition, with a curated slate of domestic and international titles across various themed collections. Offline, selected members receive red carpet access and tickets to high-demand festival screenings.

iQIYI Deepens Its Presence at BIFF With AI Agent Nadou Pro and a New Film Screening

iQIYI Deepens Its Presence at BIFF With AI Agent Nadou Pro and a New Film Screening

  • Created with celebrity interior designer Fawn Galli, the one-night showcase introduced Govee's latest Floor Lamp Series through styled home settings
  • A panel discussion explored how lighting, colour and design can help homes feel more flexible, personal and responsive to modern life.
  • The showcase featured Govee's latest Floor Lamp Series, led by the recently launched Lantern Floor Lamp and Floor Lamp 3.
  • NEW YORK, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As homes are increasingly expected to support work, rest, entertaining, family life and personal downtime within the same space, lighting is becoming one of the simplest and most important ways to change how a room feels and functions.

    This week in New York, Govee, a global leader in smart lighting, explored that idea through Sanctuary, a design showcase created with renowned interior designer Fawn Galli. The event looked at how floor lamps, colour and atmosphere can help everyday spaces feel warmer, calmer and more adaptable to modern life.

    Hosted at Chelsea White Space, Sanctuary brought Govee's latest Floor Lamp Series into styled home settings, showing how lighting can support different moments throughout the day, from practical daytime use to softer evening atmosphere. Across the space, the lamps were integrated into styled home moments, showing how smart lighting can complement different interiors, routines and moods.

    Designed with Fawn Galli

    The creative direction for Sanctuary was shaped in collaboration with New York-based interior designer Fawn Galli, whose work is known for its layered use of color, texture and personality.

    Govee worked with Galli to bring an interior design perspective to the showcase, informing the room settings, spatial flow, material palette and styling approach across the event. Her guidance helped show how the Govee Floor Lamp Series can be thoughtfully integrated into contemporary home environments, supporting both the visual character and everyday function of each space.

    "Lighting and colour have such a strong influence over how people experience a space emotionally," said Fawn Galli. "With Sanctuary, we wanted to show how the right light can bring colour, texture and materials to life, while helping a home feel more flexible and adaptable throughout the day. The spaces needed to feel warm, personal and beautifully designed, but also relevant to the way people really live."

    A home that changes with the day

    Across the evening, guests moved through styled room moments showing how one space can shift between different needs and moods, from focus and relaxation to entertaining and downtime.

    The showcase explored how floor lamps can help rooms adapt throughout the day, moving between functional white light and more expressive atmosphere. It also looked at how colour can change the way materials, paint and fabrics appear, how AI is making personalised lighting more intuitive, and how circadian-aware lighting is shaping expectations for home lighting that feels more natural, adaptive and supportive.

    Introducing Govee's latest Floor Lamp Series

    Sanctuary also marked a US showcase for Govee's newest floor lamps, including the Govee Floor Lamp 3, Govee Lantern Floor Lamp, Govee Floor Lamp 3 Lite, Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp (New Nebula Effect) and Govee Tree Floor Lamp.

    Throughout the space, the Floor Lamp Series showed how a single lighting product can move between functional white light and a more expressive atmosphere, helping rooms adapt more naturally throughout the day.

    Designed to suit a range of interiors and living spaces, the collection combines ambient lighting, adjustable colour temperature and smart personalisation features within a more design-conscious floor lamp format.

    The new range includes LuminBlend+, Govee's upgraded colour management system designed to deliver accurate, stable, and true-to-life lighting across a wide range of colour temperatures and brightness levels. With optimized RGB-to-white blending, the lamps which embed LuminBlend+ support an industry-leading 1000K to 10000K color-temperature range, enabling an ultra-wide spectrum of lighting moods

    Available on the Floor Lamp 3 and Lantern Floor Lamp, DaySync further extends that adaptability, using automated all-day scheduling to adjust colour temperature in line with natural circadian rhythms, shifting seamlessly from energising morning light to softer, warmer tones in the evening.

    AI Lighting Bot 2.0* brings more intuitive control to the collection, using multi-turn conversational prompts to generate custom lighting scenes that reflect a user's desired mood or moment.

    Available on Floor Lamp 3 and Lantern Floor Lamp, DaySync introduces automated all-day scheduling that adjusts colour temperature in line with natural circadian rhythms, moving seamlessly from energising morning light to warmer, more relaxing tones in the evening.

    With Matter, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings compatibility*, Govee floor lamps integrate seamlessly into major smart home ecosystems, while abundant preset scene modes and 16 music sync modes bring a dedicated lighting atmosphere to every moment.
