Beijing International Film Festival: A Meeting of Masters and Markets


The 15th Beijing International Film Festival is presenting an array of riches for cinephiles and industry professionals alike.

French acting legend Isabelle Huppert, who has appeared in over 100 films and earned multiple accolades including best actress at Cannes for “The Piano Teacher” and a Golden Globe for “Elle,” will explore “The Undercurrent Beneath the Ice” – an examination of her distinctive artistic approach that has made her a force in European cinema. Australian cinema receives special attention with “The Surfer,” “Wolves Always Come at Night,” “Mary and Max,” and other titles in the Vision section, while a Japan Film Week highlights new works like “I Am Kirishima,” “Sleeping Idiot” and “Sunset Sunrise.” With over 260 film screening approximately 900 times across venues in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei, alongside forums, markets, and special events, the 15th BJIFF offers a panoramic view of global cinema while providing a platform for emerging filmmakers.
