From the stunning debut of the first film "The Wilderness" in Venice 41 years ago, to the fact that Chinese films have become "regulars" at major film festivals, from the standout of kung fu films to the frequent appearance of various types of films, Chinese films have become a window for foreign audiences to understand China.
How can Chinese films better reflect the present and let the world understand China through films?
China News Agency's "East-West Question: China Dialogue" invited Li Shaohong, president of the China Film Directors Association and famous director, to have a dialogue with Marco Muller, the art director of the Art Research Center of Shanghai University and a famous film producer.
Li Shaohong, who has directed many female-themed works such as "Red Pink", "Forty Do Not Confused", "Oranges Are Red" and "Daming Palace Ci", believes that the exchange of realistic films including female themes should be encouraged.
Marco Muller, who has served as the chairman of several international film festivals and promoted Chinese directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Jia Zhangke to the international stage, believes that the richness and variety of Chinese films can help foreign audiences to know more about the richness of Chinese culture. .
