The 20th French Film Panorama in China, organized by Unifrance with support from the French Embassy in China, opened yesterday,with "The Taste of Things" directed by Tr?n Anh Hùng as the opening film.

Since its inception in Beijing in 2004, the French Film Panorama has been an integral part of the "Croisements Festival," actively promoting French cinema to Chinese audiences and fostering Sino-French cultural exchange. This year, the festival features eight recent French feature films and one short film, showcasing the diversity of contemporary French cinema.

At the opening ceremony, French Ambassador to China Bertrand Lortholary highlighted that 2024 is a particularly special year. It marks both the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France and the 20th anniversary of the French Film Panorama. Over the years, the event has become an unmissable festival for Chinese film enthusiasts, offering a unique cinematic feast and an excellent opportunity to explore French films, interact with artists, and share their insights.
