MACAO, China–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The World Film Industry Conference Group announced the official logo of the first World Film Industry Conference (WFIC) on July 27.

The logo combines the dynamic design elements and symbolizes the rapid development of the world film industry and the infinite possibilities of the future.
The WFIC has invited the world’s representative famous filmmakers, film & television institutions, and international organizations.
On the same day, the WFIC also releases its vision: to promote mutual learning and sharing among peoples and cultures of various countries, to create a “Davos Forum” in the field of world culture, to drive the building of a community of global filmmakers, and to become an important force in maintaining world peace.
Wang Haige, the WFIC BOD chairman, said that the popularity of Chinese films and engagement in cooperation with the international film industry are also regarded as important signs of the country’s modernization. An important purpose of holding the World Film Industry Conference is to tell Chinese stories well, spread Chinese voices, and promote the sound development of China’s film industry through people-to-people and cultural exchanges with foreign countries. The conference will have a positive impact on demonstrating the achievements of China’s reform, development, and opening up, and implementing a more extensive, wider and deeper round of opening up movement in all aspects.
