"By bringing even greater attention and talent to the fast-growing industry, co-production filmmakers have proudly enabled Chinese art and culture to influence the creativity and imagination of the entire world," announced Bianca Chen, Founder and CEO of UCFTI.
"This event is a great opportunity for us all to get together and celebrate the amazing films that were released last year - particularly the co-production films. So, we're all thrilled to be celebrating that and the honorees who are receiving their awards," Mike Ellis, president and managing director of the MPA Asia-Pacific region, told Xinhua.
"On the macro level there's politics that sometimes goes on, but the film industry marches on and people support it and I'd like to think we are above the politics," he grinned.
Chun Liu, general manager of the CFCC, said that the Golden Screen Awards provided an important platform for presenting and sharing this year's Chinese and foreign co-productions, as well as encouraging more cooperations, including with the United States.
