The widely expected "Beijing Film Panorama" of the 15th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) was launched on Friday, featuring nearly 300 selected classic works from various countries.
At the China Film Archive, one of the biggest screening venues of the film panorama, fans had been waiting in the lobby an hour before the first screening of the event. With many all-time classics to be screened, the event offers a chance for movie fans to re-watch their favorites on the big screen.
One of the featured exhibitions of the event, the Hong Kong Films Exhibition co-held by the BJIFF organizing committee and the China Media Group (CMG) Beijing Station, attracted wide attention, with all the screening tickets nearly sold out within three hours.
"(The Hong Kong Film Exhibition) presents six classic Hong Kong movies, with four of them being brand-new 4K restorations. Movies receiving the most attention should be the 'A Chinese Odyssey' series released in 1995, starring Stephen Chow and directed by Andrew Lau. The series includes two parts: Part I - Pandora's Box, and Part II - Cinderella," said Jiang Yi, curator of the BJIFF film panorama.
From April 18 to 27, the selected films for the 2025 "Beijing Film Panorama" are being screened at 34 cooperating cinemas and venues, including the debuts of all entries for the Tiantan Award, the official competition of BJIFF.
