China Radio International – English:

It used to be you couldn't find independent films in Beijng and not everyone knew where to get them online. That's hardly the case nowadays. Now in its fifth year, the Beijing International Movie Festival is back. This year's screenings run from October 9-17 in selected venues around Beijing such as Yugongyishan, Hot Cat, and the Marriot Hotel Northeast. This year, Beijing International Movie Festival will give film goers a casually social week of good movies to watch with good people and good drinks.

BBC World Radio also presented a special report on our events.
However we can't post the link here now, because they've spun the story
to make our screenings sound a lot more dangerous and provocative than they really are!

“The best way to watch independent movies is drunk with the director next to you complaining about how they could’ve shot it better,” says KaoKao the Duck, the official BIMF mascot.
“最好的观影方式就是和导演举杯,一同谈论他能怎样把这部电影做得更好,”作为北京国际电影节的吉祥物,烤烤鸭如是说道。

About the BIMF

The Beijing International Film Festival (BIMF) is both the first and longest currently ongoing international film festival to be organised in China’s capital city, Beijing. In December 2007, June 2008, March 2009, an again in June 2010, we hosted our series of screenings at a number of conveniently located venues around the inner ring roads. The selected works are always ones never-before seen in Beijing- created with newness by Chinese and foreign directors set to intrigue and inspire audiences aplenty. Throughout the years, a number of other film festivals of various kinds have sprung up in our city, most notably and recently the Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF), sponsored and organised by the government here.

2007年12月,2008年6月,2009年3月,然后是2010年6月,我们在环路内交通便利的场所来做我们一系列的放映。我们所选的影片是在北京从 来没有被放映过的,这些新奇的电影是由中外导演为了最大限度地激起观众的兴趣并触发观众的灵感而创作的。
