Beijing is reinforcing its status as China's filmmaking hub, as the city showcased 10 upcoming locally produced films during a promotional event at the ongoing Beijing International Film Festival.
The featured films, including "Dongji Island," "The One," and "Good Job," were introduced by their creative teams, who shared highlights and updates on the projects.
Zhu Wenjiu, producer of "Dongji Island," said the film reflects the bravery and kindness of the Chinese people. Dong Runnian, producer of "Good Job," described the movie as "a refreshingly original comedy" that will offer audiences a new experience.
According to an official from the Publicity Department of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee, the capital city remains the most active city in China for film production. In 2024, 775 films were registered and approved in the city, accounting for a quarter of the national total. Of the 55 domestic films that grossed over 100 million yuan (US$13.72 million), nearly one-third were Beijing productions, with four ranking among the top 10 box office hits of the year.
Over the years, Beijing has strongly supported film production through clear policy direction and targeted funding for outstanding projects. It was also the first city in China to establish a dedicated government film support fund. Early last year, the city introduced new measures aimed at promoting high-quality development in the capital's film and television industry.
In 2024, Beijing provided funding support to 67 film projects, doubling the number from the previous year.
