Please Answer – 2020 Beijing International Film Festival
The year of 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of the Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF)!
In a TV show, Jiang Wen, a famous actor and director in China, once talked about the BJIFF in his view: “The film is made for the audience, but it can create a bit of a buzz if there is a film festival like diving which gives a thrust right before it hits the theatre. Accordingly, there will be more topics that can be talked about.”
