"China-India Film Co-Production Dialogue" seeks common film development

  Indian films have made their way into China in recent years, but remain strange to most Chinese viewers compared with European, American, Japanese and South Korean films.

  Since Dangal grossed 1.3 billion yuan in mainland China to work a miracle of Indian films in China in 2017, a growing number of Indian films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Secret Superstar have achieved brilliant results in China and enjoyed growing popularity among Chinese viewers. Both film powers, China and India have much in common and huge potential for cooperation.

  During the "Indian Film Week", to enhance the contacts and mutual understanding between the Chinese film circle and the Indian film circle, and promote the exchanges and cooperation between Chinese filmmakers and Indian filmmakers, the China-India Film Co-Production Dialogue will invite Chinese and Indian professionals to have a dialogue from different perspectives and dimensions, seek a path for the common development of Chinese films and Indian films, and create more opportunities for further strengthening China-India film co-production.

  The following four guests will share their views on China-India film co-production and seek a path for the common development of Chinese films and Indian films.
