Exploring ideas to bring entertainment industries of China, US closer

LOS ANGELES－Industry executives, experts and officials from China and the United States met virtually at a coproduction summit on Nov 1 to explore ways in which the world's two leading film industries could work together to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities in the post-pandemic era.

The event was a precursor to the 17th Chinese American Film Festival and Chinese American TV Festival, which kicked off in Los Angeles as a live, in-person event on Friday.

Broadcast live from their spacious studio in Los Angeles County, the organizing committee of the festival hosted the summit to increase communication between the US and Chinese film and TV communities, which suffered a serious setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
