Documentaries showcased

More than 1,000 documentary films from home and abroad have become part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of New China's founding.

Ten films, including Survivor (Shengzhe) by CCTV, Beijing by Beijing TV Station and My Qomolangma (Wo de Zhumulangma) by Guangxi TV Station, won awards.

All of the documentaries feature the theme "be proud of our nation" and chronicle the great changes the country has undergone since 1949. The films also showcase the advancements and achievements of Chinese documentaries during this time.

The competition is part of The Sixth Nominating Meeting for Best Chinese Documentary Films, which serves as a channel for high-quality domestic documentaries to gain global acclaim. This year, about seven films have qualified for nomination by international film festivals, compared to an average of one or two in previous years.
