During the current film festival and TV festival, the organizing committee invited mainstream Chinese and American film and television institutions to jointly organize multiple film and television cooperation summit forums, and use the “cloud” to focus on how film and television works promote international cultural dissemination and exchange, and the cooperation between China and the United States in the post-epidemic era. For exchanges on topics such as opportunities and challenges, hundreds of Chinese and American film and television companies will enter the “cloud market” for film and television to discuss business cooperation. As the epidemic continues, the organizer will launch a charity exhibition area on the official online screening platform for American audiences. (Reporter Takayama)
