WELLINGTON, New Zealand, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, the 2024 Ningbo City Image Exhibition was held at the Miramar Creative Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. The city image film "Ningbo" as well as six short films created by Chinese directors, including "Lost In Count", "What You Can't See", "Where do Ants sleep at Night", "Graveyard of Horses", were shown on site. Topics such as intimacy, women, man and nature, and artificial intelligence were explored, showcasing China's beautiful grasslands, the current state of contemporary life and traditional culture.
The screening was jointly curated by 30°Ningbo Short Film Festival and the New Zealand Showtime Short Film Festival, and it was also the first time that Ningbo's selected short films appeared in New Zealand! The venue attracted local film professionals, Victoria University film students, and New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) curators. The six short films screened left a deep impression on the audience with unique style and profound themes. The short film "Lost In Count" gave people a strong sense of impact, letting the audience feel the spirit of never give up on sports and competition. The short film "What You Can't See" is thought-provoking with its strong sense of picture and storyline. The short film "Graveyard of Horses" is a deep meditation on the subtle connection between women, animals and nature. At the end of the screening, the creators shared their behind-the-scenes stories and creative ideas with the audience in the form of a VCR. In the post-screening session, Lulu, a filmmaker from China, and Gina, Chairperson of Showme Short Film Festival, discussed "How to Find Inspiration and Transform it into Visual Storytelling".
Gina said she was glad to see that many New Zealanders love Chinese films, and hoped that this event could help people better understand China and bring the two peoples closer together. She also hopes to welcome more friends to go to China to have a walk, have a look and experience the beauty of China for themselves.
As the New Zealand stop of the overseas tour of the 2024 Ningbo City Image Exhibition, this event uses film and television as a bridge to dig deeper into the excellent traditional Chinese culture. The search for transnational emotional common factors and the realisation of Chinese stories to the world's culture is a path that contemporary filmmakers are constantly exploring.

Ningbo short film debuts in New Zealand, 2024 Ningbo City Image Exhibition Successfully Closed
HONG KONG, June 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A novel addition to Hong Kong's educational landscape, TuniTuni, a renowned storytelling play gym from Korea, officially launched its doors in Lohas Park on June 30th. Targeting children between 1 and 7 years old, this innovative play program is designed to foster physical development, emotional bonding, and a love for movement through the use of storytelling and play.
With a history dating back to 2003, TuniTuni has been integrated deeply into early childhood education in Korea, with one in every 6 Korean children having experienced its unique learning and play approach. Setting itself apart from others, this play gym offers a fresh program every week to ensure children are consistently engaged and stimulated by new and captivating activities.
TuniTuni's primary focus is on nurturing both gross and fine motor skills in young children. By incorporating exclusive, high-quality play materials, kids are guided through essential movements while exploring new themes each week. For example, activities such as teaching children about effective hygiene practices for their hands, feet, and body are seamlessly interwoven into the program to impart important skills in an enjoyable and interactive manner.
The widely recognized belief that toddlers learn best through play is fully embraced by TuniTuni, emphasizing the importance of providing an enriching environment for young children. Due to its unique weekly program, children are exposed to storytelling play firsthand, allowing them to retain knowledge without losing interest.
According to a TuniTuni representative, the ideal time to enroll in the program is when children start walking, typically around 12 months of age. This period of up to 36 months is crucial for rapid growth and development, highlighting the need for educational activities that promote physical development during this critical stage.
Just as a child who lacks exposure to books in early years may struggle to develop a reading habit, children with limited exposure to physical activity may lose interest in movement as they grow. TuniTuni's goal is to instill confidence in physical activity by offering step-by-step movements, allowing children to experience success and therefore cultivate a positive attitude towards physical activity from an early age.
Individuals looking to discover more about TuniTuni and its programs are encouraged to visit the TuniTuni global website at tunituniglobal.com or contact the center 852-60600857 directly. The inaugural TuniTuni center in Hong Kong is located at Shop 426A, 4/F., The LOHAS, 1 Lohas Park Road, Tseung Kwan O.
The introduction of TuniTuni in Hong Kong offers a fresh and promising opportunity for children to participate in innovative and successful early childhood education methods. With its expansion planned for other countries including the U.S.A. and Malaysia, TuniTuni's combination of storytelling and play gym is designed to foster physical development, emotional connection, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity in young children.
