Yu started learning “A River All Red” when he was 39, and bringing it to the big screen was his dream come true! 🌠 He believes that with modern movie techniques, they can share Peking Opera with the whole world! 🌍
The China Film Corporation is also helping out by showing these films in 119 cinemas all over China! That’s a lot of places where people can enjoy this traditional art form. 🎥🏢
Since 2011, artists and experts have been working together to make Peking Opera films. It’s called the “Beijing Opera Film Project“, and it’s been part of the film festival for 10 years in a row! 📽️🎉
