"As the city at the root of Chinese civilization, Xi'an has a unique advantage in spreading the voice of China and telling the story of Xi'an," said Yang Yikun, member of the Xi'an Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and chairman of Shaanxi Youth Film Production Co.

Xi'an boasts a rich array of historical relics and cultural heritage. To tell the story of Xi'an, it is essential to engage new talents and cultivate a group of young cultural professionals. With a stable creative force in place, good ideas and works will follow. Additionally, it is crucial to establish new platforms for creative works.

To this end, Yang proposed the hosting of a China-Central Asia Film Exhibition event.

As an international art form, films serve as a medium for showcasing national customs and cultural characteristics. Film exhibitions, as a platform-oriented presence, can deepen exchanges and mutual understanding among people in different regions. These events can also promote multidimensional cooperation in different fields, Yang added.
