Since the first edition of "Film China" to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese children's films in 2022, the three organizers have woven an artistic creation link for children's film scripts, becoming an important cultural force in the development of Chinese children's films. The second solicitation was launched in August, and a total of 272 children's film literary works were received, and 1 best script, 5 excellent scripts, 6 potential scripts, 10 shortlisted scripts, and 10 most incubation potential story outlines were selected, covering feature films, animations, ** films and micro-films.
In 1922, China's first short film "Naughty Boy" was born, and by 2022, Chinese children's films have gone through a full 100-year history. From 1922 to 1949, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, a total of 22 children's feature films were filmed. From 1950 to 1978, children's films developed rapidly, and a total of 58 films were shot that were completely different from the old era, focusing on guiding and nurturing revolutionary people with lofty ideals, and creating a touching image of revolutionary heroes and good children. After the reform and opening up, from 1979 to 2005, children's films entered a period of vigorous development, and the state gave special funding to support the creation and production of a large number of excellent children's films, which promoted the prosperity of children's films. After 2005, the number of children's films in China has dropped sharply, and the marketization of films has caused children's films to enter a low period, and for a long time they have entered a blank period. From the 2022 centennial commemoration of Chinese children's films to the present, Chinese filmmakers have dedicated excellent children's films one after another, leaving a strong chapter in the history of film.
Jiang Ping, a senior film producer and national first-class director, said that children's movies cannot lack imagination and cannot be far from life. Children's filmmakers must inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and styles of Chinese children's films over the past century, create them with sincerity, sincerity and truth, and contribute more excellent domestic children's films that soothe their hearts, grow up, encourage them to become talents, and are enjoyable to see and delight.
Zheng Hu, Chairman of the Children's Film Working Committee of the China Film Association and former director of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Factory, Yang Chi, Vice President of the China Drama Literature Society, and Qu Shifei, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch of the Department of Drama Literature of the ** Academy of Drama, attended the seminar.
