Beijing - Feb. 26, the 4th Beijing International Film Festival held its first press conference to announce its new moves.
Three new sections are incorporated: a documentary selection, to spot and screen varied themes of documentaries from the world; a new focus on the Chinese films, to promote young filmmakers with marketability; and a future gaze on the international films, to encourage innovative approaches and strengthen collaborations among the young, said HUANG Pei, Director of the Beijing International Film Exchange Promotion Center.
