Fuzhou, a coastal gem on the Chinese mainland, is making waves in the film world. The 12th Silk Road International Film Festival has transformed this historic city into a hub of cinematic storytelling, drawing filmmakers and audiences from across G20 nations.
One highlight is Tailu Town, the serene fishing village that plays a starring role in the acclaimed film "So Long, My Son." Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Tailu's windswept shores and simple docks offer a backdrop that mirrors the film's emotional depth. In every frame, viewers can almost taste the salt in the air and feel the gentle breeze.
This year's festival explores how locations shape narratives, inviting young global citizens and tech-savvy creatives to discover the intersection of culture, business, and art. Thought leaders and changemakers can join panel talks on sustainability in film production, while travelers and digital nomads find inspiration for their next immersive journey.
Whether you're a sports and entertainment fan eager to explore new stories, an entrepreneur looking at emerging creative markets, or an activist championing cultural dialogue, Fuzhou's cinematic scene promises fresh perspectives and real-world impact. Come for the screenings, stay for the scenery, and leave with a story of your own.
