The chairman of CAFF and CATF, and Chairman of EDI Media Inc., James Su expressed his thanks to Shanghai International Film Festival for this opportunity to share our announcements. In the past fourteen years, CAFF has helped Chinese and American filmmakers build a platform for cooperation. It hopes to continue contributing and to promote Chinese-American cultural exchange. Good films and television works are the carriers of culture and culture is the backbone of a nation. This year marks the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up. We will launch a special unit called “A Wonderful 40 Years.” In this unit, the organizing committee will grant a special award, the “International Influencers of Chinese Culture”. We hope to continue to bring Chinese culture to the international stage through film and television works to let the world understand the great Chinese culture.

He sincerely wished for the success of CAFF.
