7. The Changchun Film Festival
The Changchun Film Festival (CFF) is a biennial international film festival held in Changchun, Jilin province, and its coveted Golden Deer Awards have mainly been awarded to films from China and other regions in East Asia. Founded in part by the Changchun Film Studio, the festival was first held in 1992 and considered to be one of old major Chinese film festivals. The most recent festival - its 14th run - was held in September 2018, and organizers were clearly eager to revive its image. It launched a new goal - "to gather new generations of Chinese films and cultivate the influence of Chinese films" under the theme "New Era ? New Cradle ? New Power". The Changchun Film Festival also set up awards for young filmmakers, held a "Dream Ceremony" for young film enthusiasts, and sponsored the 'China Film New Power Forum' which discussed strategies to promote growth and prosperity in the film industry. These new measures have made the festival a channel to publicize young directors and an event attracting scores of film enthusiasts.
