Film fest cements Sino-French bonding

The annual French Film Panorama in China, which has kicked off its seventh edition since April 1, is always an event for the two countries' filmmakers to meet friends, old and new alike.

Actor Vincent Perez, one of the 15 French filmmakers and actors who came to China for the event, found an old friend when he attended the event's Beijing press conference on April 13.

Chinese actress Yu Nan, who was in the French film Rage, was one of the guests. Yu won the best actress award at the 2001 Deauville Film Festival and it was Perez who presented her the award.
