The China-Russia co-produced film 'Red Silk' made its grand debut in Beijing on September 4, marking a highlight of the 2025 Russian Film Festival in China. Set against the backdrop of wartime espionage, the film dramatizes the collaboration between Chinese and Russian operatives on covert missions to uphold justice during a pivotal historical period.
Senior officials from both nations attended the premiere, including Shen Haixiong, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and president of China Media Group, and Alina Kabaeva, chair of Russia's National Media Group. Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov and China Film Administration's Mao Yu also joined the event, underscoring the cultural diplomacy between the two countries.
The film's release coincides with deepening Sino-Russian cooperation in media and entertainment, reflecting shared efforts to commemorate historical alliances through contemporary storytelling. Industry analysts note such collaborations may open new avenues for cross-border creative projects.
