Volunteers were gathered this spring.

Upholding film aspirations, 

And enthusiasm about volunteering services,

 

 

Full devotion across mountains and sea. Where youth was romantically intertwined with films in 24 fps, and filmmakers from around the world were brought together in the birthplace of Chinese cinema, we volunteers filled all positions in the main venues of the 14th BJIFF, and contributed to the “visual feast” in upward spirit.

　　Wherever your dream is, go with all your heart.

As the BJIFF opened, 

Our collective memory awoke. 

Under the spotlight of the BJIFF,

Perhaps we’ve never met before.

Groups of young people volunteered,

Met here,

And became united as one.

Following the volunteering philosophy of

 “devotion, friendship, help and progress”,

We put all-out efforts in serving 

Those passionate about cinema..

 

It’s the most rewarding and worthwhile choice to “join the BJIFF”. Volunteering gives us young students a learning opportunity, allowing us to switch from the role of audience to participant. Adept at venue setup and directions, and attentive to details and ultimate services, we volunteers aimed to satisfy every guest and earn their recognition with enthusiastic responses and thoughtful information services. And those efforts paid off the moment the spotlight was turned on.

Thanks to all staff at the 14th BJIFF, we were able to play our role and bloom in individual colors. 

 

It’s fun to “join the BJIFF”. Many foreign media outlets spoke highly of the communication services of the BJIFF when being interviewed. Film exchanges are part of cultural exchanges among countries. Those loving films are super excited to meet their actors, actresses and directors they like off screen. They offer to express their opinions, and explain the support and assistance of the BJIFF in the development of film industry from professional perspectives. Besides, I met many volunteers at the BJIFF, gained precious friendship and unforgettable memories, immersed myself in art vibe and fueled myself with enthusiasm and energy. I felt very happy with them every day. 

 

It’s fantastic to “join the BJIFF”. I was assigned to escort and interpret for Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski and his wife. During the volunteering process, we talked about each other’s favorite films, progress of Chinese cinema, prospective application of AI, 101 languages at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and changes of world dynamics, and became friends. Because of our hospitality and excellence, they grew fonder of China, and believed that China would be more diverse in future thanks to vigorous young people like us.

Here we encountered beauty and reached future. Here we told stories about China, and watched films about the world. We loved to serve the film festival, and immerse ourselves in the fantastic dream. I found pleasant surprises and joys while volunteering at the BJIFF. Each event detail was repeatedly checked; orderly and efficient execution was ensured; and there were earnest expectations and heart-warming greetings, etc. Cinema is a young form of art rather than a lonely “island”. Filmmakers and young volunteers are just like cinema, young and romantic as ever. Let’s join our hands, embrace tomorrow and hopes, and create more possibilities.

　　Life is full of ups and downs.

Every encounter is

A reunion after long parting.

The BJIFF is a spring feast that

Comes around annually while time flies.

We believe time is a circle,

And film is a mirror.

As the 14th BJIFF is closing,

We shall not say goodbye,

Because we are going to meet soon again.

Look forward to the 15th BJIFF,

And keep striving.

Many thanks to volunteers at the BJIFF!

You are the most adorable!
