really amazed me –professional and considerable high shorts were produced under

and the locals were very enthusiastic towards film industry. They did not just
share their production experiences, but also provided opportunities for young
directors to exchange ideas. During the festival visit, I also encountered some
foreign film producers and we shared the film production experiences. It is
really horizons broadening for me to meet and know more directors from
different countries, feel the atmosphere of large-scale film exhibition, it is
an eye-opener. Hope in the future have the opportunity to participate in
different film festivals.”
