The 16th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF)

The 16th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) will be held from April 16 to 25, transforming Beijing into an unparalleled cinematic wonderland. This year seamlessly blends professional industry markets with a massive city-wide lifestyle carnival across nine major districts.

At the core Langyuan Station hub, the "BJIFF Market" empowers emerging filmmakers with project pitches—led by jury president Shu Qi—alongside international masterclasses and film industry job fairs. For the public, the hub offers magical open-air screenings under the stars, featuring exclusive post-screening interactions with renowned directors.

The cinematic magic also extends into daily urban life with the debut of the city-wide "BJIFF Lifestyle Map." Don't throw away your movie ticket stubs! They act as your golden passes to unlock exclusive discounts at hundreds of shopping malls, restaurants, and top scenic spots like the Old Summer Palace across Chaoyang, Haidian, and other districts, offering the ultimate "Film + City" spring getaway.
