Season 2 of the China Short Video Conference kicked off on October 12, marking the return of the large-scale integrated media program co-created by China Media Group, the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Zhejiang Provincial Committee, and the Hangzhou municipal government.
Under the theme "Short Videos Link Thousands of Industries," this season showcases 32 "annual honor creators" selected through public submissions and expert evaluation. Every Sunday and Monday at 9 p.m., audiences can tune in on CCTV-3, Yangshipin, and CCTV.com for conversations with industry leaders, groundbreaking ideas, and fresh creative formats.
Hangzhou is now in the spotlight as "China's city of short videos." By forging new connections between short-form storytelling and sectors like culture, tourism, and manufacturing, the conference aims to energize local economies and drive broader growth.
Today’s short video market in the Chinese mainland is fueled by rapid tech innovation and shifting viewer habits. Creators are blending AI-driven visuals with expert insights, transforming science communication into immersive stories. Others highlight intangible cultural heritage through music or capture scenic landscapes and culinary traditions to celebrate China’s rich legacy.
These interdisciplinary journeys transcend traditional categories, weaving science, culture, food, and travel into a vibrant ecosystem that resonates with global audiences. Season 2 of the China Short Video Conference invites viewers to explore how short videos are shaping tomorrow’s industries—one clip at a time.
