Huairou set for Beijing film festival
The 14th Beijing International Film Festival is set to open Thursday at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Beijing's Huairou district. Local authorities and departments have worked diligently to ensure a successful event.
Huairou district has coordinated security, traffic, and fire safety measures to facilitate the smooth operation of the opening and closing ceremonies. Transportation enhancements include adding 1,400 parking spaces and 37 shuttle buses as well as increasing taxi services to manage attendee flow.
The district is also enhancing the festival atmosphere by lighting up the Yanqi Lake area and decorating the main venues with floral arrangements.
Chen Qi, deputy director of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Huairou District Committee, emphasized the district's efforts to showcase China's cinematic achievements and the positive impact of the festival. "We have planned a series of events to complement the festival's main activities, enhancing the overall experience," Chen said.
In addition to the Tiantan Award ceremony, the festival will feature a music event and a film carnival starting on April 21. These events will offer a blend of film, music, and cultural activities, including live performances that integrate film elements, a cultural market, and over 40 cultural activities like film screenings and a Chinese fashion gala.
