On the evening of August 28, the closing and award ceremony of the 20th Changchun Film Festival were held at the Golden Hall of Changchun International Movie Metropolis.

This year marks both the 120th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema and the 80th anniversary of the founding of Changchun Film Studio. Since its inception in 1992, the Changchun Film Festival, the first film festival named after a city in new China, has now reached its 20th edition. At this important moment, this year's Changchun Film Festival has been endowed with more profound historical significance. Under the theme of "New Era, New Cradle, New Forces, New Journey", the festival featured six key sections: opening and closing ceremonies, film awards, film screenings, film exchanges, tributes to the "Cradle", and industry integration. These activities underscored the film industry's commitment to empowering urban development, promoting national unity, and delivering cultural benefits to the public.

During the six - day event, the festival provided a platform for Chinese-language filmmakers to exchange ideas, interact, and forge connections, comprehensively showcasing the innovation and heritage of Chinese-language cinema and receiving widespread acclaim. As the award ceremony unfolded, the ten "Golden Deer Awards" were bestowed upon their respective winners. With a film event that was more professional, in tune with the times, and people - oriented, Changchun, the "City of the Cradle", wrote a splendid chapter to the story of Chinese - language cinema and contributed its share to the endeavor of building China into a leading film power.
