SCO Film Festival to kick off in Chongqing

The five-day event will feature 11 film-themed activities, including a film awards festival, screenings, a cooperation forum, a technology exhibition, an outdoor market and a concert.

The opening and closing ceremonies will take place at the expansive 5,000-square-meter filming studio of Yongchuan Technology Studio, China's largest digital technology studio that employs virtual shooting technology throughout the entire movie production process. This cutting-edge studio was officially put to use during the First China Film Technology Innovation Summit held in May 2023 in Yongchuan — which is striving to build a city for sci-tech films in western China.

On the evening of July 7, a red carpet event will be held at the 3,000-square-meter virtual filming studio within the technology studio.
