The 15th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) Beijing Film Market Project Pitches has successfully concluded its call for submissions. This year, we received 507 valid projects, including 470 script projects and 37 work-in-progress (WIP) projects. 470 narrative universes are quietly sprouting in the folds of numbers - some creators use holographic projections to resurrect the Flying Apsaras from ancient murals, others bury an apocalyptic love letter within an Ice Age prophecy, and still others translate the force of a basketball hitting the backboard into the heartbeat frequency of an entire village... Each story transforms these numbers from cold statistics to a spectrum of light, powered by the tens of thousands of creator souls who shine brightly in the night together.

Let's explore the diverse evolution of genre films through the kaleidoscope of BJIFF Project Pitches.
