Hey movie lovers! Do you know what’s happening on Hainan Island in China? The 6th Hainan Island International Film Festival has just started, and it’s super exciting! π
This amazing festival brings together movies from all over the world. They received over 4,300 films from 117 countries and regions. That’s a lot of stories to explore! π₯π
Famous people like French filmmaker Luc Besson are there. He’s the president of the international jury, which means he helps decide which movies win awards! Also, the well-known French actress Sophie Marceau is an ambassador for the festival. An ambassador is someone who represents and promotes the event. π€© Chinese actor Ge You is also joining as the New Year ambassador.
There are special events like the Spanish Film Week and the ASEAN Unit (that’s movies from Southeast Asian countries). These events let you experience different cultures through film. It’s like traveling the world without leaving your seat! πβοΈ
Liu Xiaoming, the governor of Hainan Province, said they want to make this festival a lasting “super brand.” That means making it bigger and better every year! π
The festival will end on December 10th, and they’ll give out 10 big awards, including Best Film and Best Director. Who do you think will win? π
It’s so cool to see how movies can bring people together from all over the world. Maybe one day, you’ll make a movie that gets shown at a festival like this! Keep dreaming big! π¬π
