Industry executives and producers gathered at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FilMart) on its opening day for a forum titled "International Communication Cooperation and Innovation for a New Vision." The event, held on March 11, 2026, was organized by the International Cooperation Department of China Media Group (CMG).
The forum focused on the critical role of artificial intelligence in film production and the importance of international collaboration. Panelists, including CMG Vice President Xing Huina, emphasized that AI is a tool to enhance creativity and efficiency, not replace human artistry, and stressed the need for shared technological standards and ethical guidelines in cross-border projects.
Discussions also highlighted the potential for co-productions, particularly within the Belt and Road Initiative framework, to foster cultural exchange and tell diverse stories. The consensus was that leveraging new technologies and strengthening global partnerships are essential for the film industry's future growth and innovation.
