Always the leader in matters of cultural diplomacy through film and television, Changchun Film Group Corporation is a founding partner of China Film Group comprising the former Changchun Film Studio responsible for the Changchun Film Festival (first held in 1992).

Following in an illustrious line of film festivals originating in Changchun organised by the HQ of China's historic Changchun Film Studio, which is now part of Changchun Film Group Corporation, the Changchun International Youth Film Festival began as a boutique graduate festival of celebration for emerging opportunities in the global market, incoming and outgoing, first for Russian film, then the next year Italian film. Now entering its third year in 2018. Our festival is warm and personable. You will not be lost in the crowd. Key people who make key decisions will be close at hand.  We're vitally interested in you and your organisation just as you are interested enough in us to take the time to ask for more information, for guidance, for introductions to friends who share your vision.

You're not foolish. You're not aiming too high, you're not wearing shoes too big for you. You're a professional. You've got a great project but you're not an A list Hollywood producer, you're a work-a-day industry professional just like they were before the lights went on. China is a new emerging market for “foreign” media - rather large. There are surprisingly many opportunities for smaller productions. Far fewer for blockbusters. There's a bit of a quota on blockbusters. Who wants too many Batman movies in one year? How many also-rans seriously can expect to be recognised while the big players sit at the top table? Even smaller productions can still earn millions. Great things from small seeds grow.
