The multinational co-production film The Message, directed by Ivan Fund, has garnered international recognition with recent accolades at two prestigious film festivals. The feature film, produced across Argentina, Spain, and Uruguay, claimed the Silver Bear Jury Prize at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival and secured an official selection spot for the Tiantan Award at the 15th Beijing International Film Festival.
Fund's project highlights the growing cultural collaboration between Latin American, European, and Asian cinema markets. Its Beijing recognition positions it among frontrunners in China's expanding international film circuit, while the Berlin win reinforces its artistic appeal to European audiences.
The dual continental honors come as China's film authorities prioritize global cultural exchanges through platforms like the Beijing festival, which concluded its latest edition with record participation from 93 countries and regions.
