THE Fujian Film Bureau will hold a film exhibit, "Fujian Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Film Culture Week — Philippine Stop," at Newport Mall Cinema from May 28 to June 2.
The event aims to tell compelling stories about Fujian Province through films and strengthen the foundation for building people-to-people connectivity, Raul Lambino, chairman of the Association for Philippines-China Understanding (APCU), said.
Lambino said 2024 marks the "Asean-China year of people-to-people exchanges" as a catalyst for promoting exchanges, mutual learning and cooperative development across various aspects of Asean-China relations.
He said APCU welcomes such an event that enhances people-to-people relations, as it is the core of APCU's aims as the official friendship association between the Philippines and China and a member of the Asean-China Friendship Association.
This will serve as a build-up activity toward the June 9 anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, along with the awarding ceremony of the annual Awards for Promoting Philippines-China Understanding (APPCU) on June 7.
Among the movies expected at the film exhibit are Fujian films "Love on Gallery Bridge," "Monkey King: Hero is Back," "The Procurator," "The Queen of Drama," "On Call" and "Jade Bead Necklace."
The event is organized by the Publicity Department of Jimei District Committee in Xiamen, the Asean Culture and Economic Exchange Center, the Philippine Straits Travel Agency, Chinatown TV, the Xiamen Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, and the Fujian Association for the Promotion of Friendly Exchanges with Foreign Countries.
