Cambodian Minister of Culture and Fine Arts, Phoeung Sakona, emphasized that this event serves as a platform to promote cultural dialogue and close cooperation among the countries in the Lancang-Mekong subregion.

During the film week, 20 films from Lancang-Mekong countries will be screened, showcasing a rich variety of themes and genres, including comedy, action, romance, and science fiction.

Among them is Rooftop Soccer, which won the Best Children's Film award at the 37th Golden Rooster Awards in China. The film presents audiences with the unique charm of ancient villages and ethnic customs in Yunnan.

The only animated feature of the event, I Am What I Am, introduces viewers to the traditional Chinese lion dance culture and the customs of Lingnan through its exquisite visuals and inspiring storyline.

The Cambodian film When Mom Gets Old focuses on the lives of elderly women and highlights intergenerational conflicts, provoking thoughtful reflections.

Thailand’s Grandma’s Grandchild, which portrays the subtle emotional dynamics within a traditional three-generation Thai-Chinese family, broke multiple box office records upon release.

Through these films, audiences can travel, reflect, and feel, experiencing the stunning landscapes, rich cultures, and emotional resonance of the six Lancang-Mekong countries.

In addition, various activities such as cultural tours, discussions, and project promotions further enrich the cultural significance of the film week and enhance its brand influence.

Zhai Yulong, Director of China’s Yunnan Provincial Film Bureau, expressed hope that this event will foster further exchange of films, strengthen communication among filmmakers, and deepen connectivity in the film industry, promoting the prosperity and development of the film sector across the Lancang-Mekong countries.

Mr. CHEN Cong, Minister-Counsellor of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China to the Kingdom of Cambodia, remarked that the Lancang-Mekong International Film Week effectively promotes in-depth exchanges, cooperation, and development within the film industries of the region, while enhancing mutual understanding and friendship among the peoples of these nations.

With the Sixth Lancang-Mekong International Film Week underway, a beautiful chapter of cultural integration and mutual understanding is being vividly written, showcasing that civilization is enriched through exchange and grows through mutual learning.
