A total of 27 awards will be presented at the September ceremony in Sichuan Province, highlighting stories that foster cross-cultural understanding and innovation.
Organized biennially by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Sichuan provincial authorities, the event aims to strengthen international collaboration through cinema. This year's categories include Documentary, Animation, TV Drama, and Film, with winners selected by a diverse jury panel representing multiple countries and regions.
The awards emphasize Sichuan's growing role as a cultural hub, combining modern infrastructure with China's rich artistic heritage. Analysts suggest the program could enhance global investor interest in Asia's creative industries while serving as a bridge for cultural diplomacy.
