As global cinema celebrates its 130th anniversary and Chinese film marks 120 years of storytelling, the 2025 Golden Panda International Cultural Forum emerges as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue. CGTN's special program "Dialogue of Icons – Through the Lens, Bridging Civilizations" will spotlight how filmmakers transcend borders through universal narratives.
Scheduled for September 14 at 9:30 p.m. Beijing Time, the broadcast features industry leaders exploring cinema's unique ability to foster mutual understanding. The program coincides with renewed academic interest in Asia's soft power strategies, particularly through cultural exports like film.
