At the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival in Fuzhou, Taiwan director Clark Lee highlighted the rapid evolution of the Chinese mainland's cinematic landscape while advocating for greater creative integration across the Taiwan Strait. "Our shared cultural roots offer endless storytelling potential," Lee stated during a panel discussion attended by global filmmakers and industry leaders.
The director emphasized that blending narratives from both sides of the strait could "create a stronger voice for Chinese cinema worldwide." His remarks come as the mainland's box office continues to rank among the world's top three markets, with recent co-productions gaining international recognition.
Festival organizers noted that 45 countries and regions participated in this year's event, which serves as a key platform for Asia's $42 billion film industry. Cultural analysts suggest such cross-strait collaborations could reshape regional soft power dynamics while offering new opportunities for investors and content creators.
