CGTN's film picks at 2025 Beijing International Film Festival

　　 CGTN has carefully selected a number of films from the 15th Beijing International Film Festival that celebrates global cultural diversity and unique perspectives – gifts for any lover of the silver screen.

　　These works hail from countries and regions around the world, each showcasing the beauty of its culture, and many a hallmark of international collaboration. They span a rich range of forms: from the stark gaze of realism to the poetic verisimilitude of lyrical cinematography; from experimental narrative structures that shatter and re-forge to fiercely personal auteurist expressions. Whether through meditative long takes or razor-sharp editing, each film uses imagery to explore cultural plurality and human tenderness, offering a multi-dimensional panorama of culture and the brilliance of humanity.

　　We invite you not only to "see the movies," but to "see the difference." Amid the interplay of light and shadow, feel the intellectual tremors and emotional reverberations that cinema – "the seventh art" – can evoke. Through the subtle textures of cinematic language, let us transcend borders and tongues to discover the resonance that unites audiences and creators alike.

　　CGTN welcomes you to the theaters, to the world and to the untold stories that lie beyond light and shadow.

　　See the difference, experience the world.
