Chinese films to be screened in Central Asian countries

Films by China’s CMG will be screened across Central Asian countries as part of a media partnership. Ten films were presented in Astana, most of which are documentaries. These films explore China’s history and showcase its modern-day image. The selection also includes animated films. Before the screenings, the productions by the Chinese media corporation - which signed a cooperation agreement last year with the TV and Radio Complex of Kazakh President - will be translated into the languages of the region. The project is being implemented as part of the “Cultural Ties-2025” program.

«As a Chinese citizen, I discover things I didn’t know myself when I watch these films. That’s why I believe it will also be interesting to viewers in Central Asian countries - offering insights into how Chinese people lived in the past, how we live today, and what our plans are for the future. It helps us better understand one another,» noted Wang Bin, Director of the Eurasian Bureau, China Media Group.
