[Commentary] On September 9, the "Master of Dialogue-Director Xie Fei's 30th Anniversary Special Screening of "Ben Ming Year"" was held in Changchun, Jilin. China's "fourth generation director" Xie Fei attended the live event and met with the media and fans .

During the media interview session, Xie Fei said that providing film lovers with opportunities to watch films is the significance of the film festival, and various types of films should be able to get screening opportunities through this platform.

　　This screening is one of the important events of the 15th China Changchun Film Festival.

"Ben Ming Year" is a realistic film, one of the three films about lost youth in China in 1990.

The film is also regarded as the curtain call for Chinese films in the 1980s and won the Silver Bear Award at the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.

　　After the film was screened that day, Xie Fei, who was full of hair, walked into the theater to meet the fans and interacted with the younger generation of filmmakers.

　　During the Changchun Film Festival, 78-year-old Xie Fei also recalled his first participation in the International Film Festival in 1986.

He bluntly said that participating in international film festivals was an important way for Chinese films to "go global".

　　I happened to be a visiting scholar in the United States in 1986. I brought two films, both of which were film copies. One was "Our Field" and the other was "Xiao Xiao, A Girl in Hunan".

Screened and discussed in some schools in the United States.

Later, just when I was going to France to hold a meeting of film and television academies, I went to the Cannes Film Festival office with "Xiao Xiao Xiang Girl".

And the screening there is also the hall. This is my first time to go to the three major (international) film festivals. It (film festival) is a cultural exchange.

　　[Explanation] There are many highlights in the exhibition section of this year's China Changchun Film Festival, with hundreds of Chinese and foreign films.

These include the latest award-winning and shortlisted films from world-renowned international film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and Toronto.

　　Xie Fei said that the film festival is an important opportunity for film lovers to watch movies. Film festivals held in various parts of China should also pay attention to the screening of various films.

　　The main purpose of the film festival is to provide film lovers with an opportunity to watch films, watching cultural films that are not seen in the commercial market, and films from various countries, the audience will be interested, and your festival will be meaningful.

The film festival is not (just) a red carpet.

　　[Explanation] Changchun has the reputation of "Cinema City", and the "Cradle of New Chinese Films" Changchun Film Studio has produced a large number of far-reaching works.

　　Xie Fei's message to this city is to hold the film festival well, cultivate the film market, and cultivate future young filmmakers.

　　I went to see the museum of the old long shadow yesterday and it was very kind.

Everyone of our generation has seen those films from the 1950s and 1960s.

"My Motherland", "Shangganling", "Guests on the Iceberg" and "Young People in Our Village" are all yours.

So I also hope to use the film festival to restore the old traditions of Changchun film, Jilin film, and Northeast film. The film festival cultivates fans, cultivates the film market, and cultivates talented young filmmakers in the future.
