At the 6th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) in China, a new chapter in cultural collaboration between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is unfolding. The China Media Group’s Sanya Studio is showcasing film submissions from ASEAN countries, highlighting the region’s rich cinematic heritage.
Film professionals from across Southeast Asia have gathered in Hainan to explore innovative ways to elevate regional cinema to a global audience. “This festival is a platform for us to share our stories with the world,” said an ASEAN filmmaker. “By working with China, we can reach new heights in creativity and reach.”
The collaboration aims to strengthen cultural ties and promote mutual understanding through the universal language of film. As young audiences in the Global South look for fresh and relatable content, this partnership promises to bring diverse narratives to the forefront of international cinema.
