Let’s talk about Film Festival . The film festival can be said to be a grand ceremony that neither filmmakers nor movie fans who like to watch movies will miss. The emergence of the film festival is to promote the development of movies and improve the level of movies. Excellent film works are usually rewarded. At the film festival, we usually see the stars behind the scenes. They not only receive higher attention at the film festival as invitations, but also use the film festival as a platform to promote exchanges and cooperation.
The world's first international film festival is the Italian Vinis International Film Festival, which was born on August 6, 1932. Nowadays, the three major film festivals in the world are located in Europe, namely the Venice International Film Festival in September, the Cannes International Film Festival in May, and the Berlin International Film Festival in February. These three international film festivals and the Locarno International Film Festival are the four major international film festivals in Europe determined by the International Film Federation. International Film Producers Association approves 55 high-quality international film festivals every year, and they are usually divided into four categories according to the nature of the film festival, namely competition-type non-special film festivals, competition-type special film festivals, non-competitive film festivals, documentary and short film festivals.
The film festival with higher attention in China should be the Shanghai International Film Festival and Beijing International Film Festival in April and June every year. The Chinese Film Festival is like all foreign film festivals, and is a carnival for movie fans. The Shanghai International Film Festival has been held since 1993. It is the first International A-class Film Festival in China to be recognized by the International Film Producers Association. It is also one of the 15 international A-class film festivals in the world. The Golden Gogh Award also occupies a place internationally.
The purpose is mainly to enhance mutual understanding and friendship among film people in various countries and regions, and to promote the prosperity and development of world film art. In addition to two highly-respected film festivals in the south and the north, national film festivals are also constantly developing, such as Changchun International Film Festival, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival , FIRST Youth Film Exhibition, etc. Although the number of domestic film festivals is not as mature as that of foreign film markets, it all represents the booming development of our domestic film market. Although the current film market has been criticized as a commercial market for traffic and capital, and the film festival has also caused some controversy that is not professional or authoritative, movie fans can still see the restoration and re-screening of classic films and the screening of a large number of films from various regions at the film festival.
As a good promotion and distribution platform, if the film festival can create a sensation in the film festival, it will be of great help to the later release. There is a specific example, in 2019, " Parasite " unexpectedly won the Palme d'HTM2 award for Cannes , and then created a movie viewing craze in South Korea, and also ushered in high-priced bids from European and American film manufacturers, breaking the record of overseas copyright fees for Korean film and television. Not only that, thanks to the Oscars' best international film and historic bonus for non-English films, "Parasite"'s box office revenue soared wildly, creating the highest average box office record for foreign language films in a single museum in North American film history, ranking fourth in the history of foreign language films. How much do you know about the film festival? As a film festival, the competition unit is still the core of a film festival, which often means the positioning and pattern of a film festival. It is also the call of countless movie fans for domestic film festivals to introduce more and better films. Whether it is a foreign film festival or a domestic film festival, the most important thing in the hearts of movie fans is to see the film people speak with their works. We are also looking forward to more excellent movies appearing, making the film festival a more credible and benchmark movie carnival.
