We're back with a brand new theme!
Building upon the warmth of "Embrace" from last year,
this year we emit our energy in the theme of "Freedom."
Core Value: Human Rights and Freedom
This year,
the festival will center around "Human Rights and Freedom"aiming to use film as a medium to shed light on past and ongoing global events,
uncover hidden issues, and spark further discussions.
The origin of the Event Name
"I wish to shine like the afterglow reflected by the setting sun,
illuminating this dark history, preventing the repetition of past mistakes."
This is how Chen Xinji described it in "Spring of the Saddle Vine."
We wait for the dawn in darkness.
If defending human rights and striving for freedom is a rough,
arduous, and dark path, then may we become a glimmer of twilight on this road.
Sunset, without the glaring and harshness of the midday sun,
nor the fearless breakthrough of dawn's light,
but we also firmly believe, we are not the only light on this dark path.
As the sunset reflects upon the earth,
we meet under the shimmering twilight,
illuminating you and me, lighting the darkness.
As the sunset reflects upon the earth,
we meet under the shimmering twilight,
illuminating you and me, lighting the darkness.
