In the June of Shanghai, the TV industry practitioners gather together to welcome the grand event interwoven with ideas, thoughts and achievements - the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival.

For the time being, the global TV industry is speeding up its transformation and upgrading, accompanied by the profound integration of TV media and constant extension of communication platforms, but our pursuit for quality content is a permanent topic. In the new audio and visual era which is experiencing huge renovation, we encourage and support the Chinese TV workers to keep steady cultural confidence, stay true to the mission for excellence and properly interpret Chinese stories in order to provide more high quality programs and works. We aspire to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the public and promote international humanity and culture exchanges.

 

As one of the most important international TV exchange and collaboration platforms in Asia, the Shanghai TV Festival consistently grasps the current trend, and persistently promotes TV culture and TV industry development with an open and inclusive attitude. Through a series of deliberately planned projects featuring program selection, showcase, forum and international film & TV market, the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival will play its role as a platform to display achievements, exchange experience and facilitate cooperation, as well as a presenter of a substantial and splendid TV feast to the audience, hoping to make contribution to the further growth of the TV industry.

Through the establishment in the past 30 years, the Shanghai TV Festival has grown into a renowned cultural brand which attracts domestic and international TV talents and boosts the development of the TV industry. The festival has enhanced the cultural influence of the city, which is devoting a lot to turn itself into a major global metropolis, and has developed into a well-known platform for international TV communication and cooperation in Asia. This year, STVF continues to reflect the contemporary spirit, implement the national cultural development strategy and bring the essence of Chinese culture to a wider range with innovative systems in the festival organization. With acontinual focus on the change and evolution of the TV industry, STVF will lead the cultural trend and create more works that highlight the core values and are well received by the people to promote cultural exchanges and in-depth cooperation between Chinese and foreign counterparts.

 

The 23rd STVF will witness the competition for the Magnolia Awards among many excellent TV series, documentaries and animations, the broadcast of the excellent domestic and international TV programs. We will adhere to the idea of specialty, authority and nationality to provide more consummate service to bring talents of the international TV industry together and into full play and demonstrate the core values and the new look of Chinese people on an international stage.
