On December 29, 2023, the 13th "Year of Light and Shadow" - China Documentary Academy Award Ceremony was held at Communication University of China. Xu Wei, documentary director of CGTN, was invited to attend the award ceremony for her work "Poetry About Ten Thousand Miles", which was shortlisted for the award. It is reported that the award was founded in 2011, including a series of activities including award evaluation, screening exchanges, academic forums, and venture capital, and has become an important event in the field of domestic documentaries.
Xu Wei graduated from the Arabic Department of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese and has held various positions in the past few years, including the chief director of the reality show "Amazing You", the chief director of the multilingual media project "Poetry About Ten Thousand Miles", and the chief director of the Internet campaign "I Read Poetry for You All Over the World". As one of Xu Wei's masterpieces, "Poetry About Ten Thousand Miles" has won many awards, proving the artistic value and social influence of the film.
At the awards ceremony on the same day, in addition to "Poetry About Ten Thousand Miles", there were other excellent documentary works that were honored. These works record China's development process and social changes, show the diversity and richness of Chinese documentaries, and also reflect the innovative consciousness and exploration spirit of Chinese documentarians, injecting new vitality into the development of Chinese documentaries.
Xu Wei said that being shortlisted for the Academy Award this time is an encouragement for her to continue her creation, and it is also a good opportunity to learn Xi and communicate, which will be of great help to her future creation. She hopes for more "good luck" and looks forward to the day when she will have the privilege of being on the podium with her work.
This news reflects the vitality and innovative spirit of the Chinese documentary field. With the development of documentaries in China, more and more directors and producers have begun to pay attention to and record the changes and development of society, presenting a rich and colorful picture for the audience. This also reflects the vigorous development of China's cultural industry, which provides a broader space for cultural and artistic creation. Through these documentary works, the audience can have a deeper understanding of China and its social changes, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of China.
At the same time, the honor of works such as "Poetry About Ten Thousand Miles" has also promoted the development of China's documentary industry and played a positive role in enhancing the international influence of Chinese documentaries. The birth of these excellent works not only inspires the creative motivation of more film and television talents, but also lays a solid foundation for the future development of Chinese documentaries.
However, in order to further enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese documentaries, more supportive policies and resources are needed. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation and exchanges, learn from advanced international experience, and promote the better integration of China's documentary industry into the world stage.
It is worth mentioning that with the rapid development of digital technology, the way of documentary production and dissemination is also undergoing profound changes. China's documentary industry needs to keep pace with the times, make full use of new technologies, and constantly innovate content and forms in order to better adapt to the current audience needs and competition in the international market.
In general, the continuous growth and innovative development of China's documentary industry has presented us with a more vivid and vivid social picture, and has also injected new vitality into the prosperity of the cultural industry. It is hoped that in the future, Chinese documentaries can show more excitement and charm on the international stage, and I also look forward to the emergence of more excellent works, so that Chinese documentaries will continue to bring more colorful audio-visual feasts to the world audience.
