As the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) strengthens regional ties, its Film and Television Week emerges as a vibrant platform for cross-cultural dialogue. A special program hosted by CGTN showcases how blockbusters like The Wandering Earth and Ne Zha are fostering connections among SCO member states through shared creative visions.
Filmmakers from across Asia gathered to discuss collaborative opportunities, with China's sci-fi epic The Wandering Earth demonstrating the global appeal of regional storytelling. Red Silk, blending historical artistry with modern cinematography, highlights the potential for cultural preservation through film. Meanwhile, animated hit Ne Zha exemplifies innovative approaches to traditional folklore.
'Cinema transcends language barriers,' noted a participating director from Kazakhstan during panel discussions. The event particularly emphasized co-production strategies, with producers exploring ways to combine technical expertise from different member states while maintaining authentic cultural narratives.
With over 20 countries and regions represented, the initiative aligns with SCO's broader goals of multilateral cooperation. Analysts suggest such cultural exchanges could pave the way for new economic partnerships in Asia's growing creative industries.
