NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 29, 2017 -- As a part of the 2018 Chinese New Year celebrations, January 9, 2018 will see two festival events co-organized by the New York Film Academy at the Museum of Jewish Heritage: Chinese Cultural Performances and Shanghai Film Week.

“We are honored to partner with Shanghai Film Group, the Shanghai Film Art Academy, and leaders from the industry and government of Shanghai in celebrating this great city, which was the birthplace of Chinese cinema” said NYFA President Michael J. Young.

The Chinese film industry began in Shanghai, and is already the second largest film market in the world. Projected to become the world’s largest film market, China saw its 2017 top-10 box office performers include six Hollywood blockbusters -- highlighting what ScreenDaily calls, the “mutually dependent” relationship between the Chinese and American film markets.

Events will include:

Performances will range from folk dance to martial arts and more.

Shanghai Film Week will include an Industry Panel on the future of internationally collaborative cinema as well as screenings of seven Chinese films, moderated by New York Film Academy President Michael Young.

Following the opening day events at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Shanghai Film Week will continue with well-received Chinese films at the New York Film Academy’s Battery Park campus.

“We are honored to partner with Shanghai Film Group, the Shanghai Film Art Academy, and leaders from the industry and government of Shanghai in celebrating this great city, which was the birthplace of Chinese cinema,” said NYFA President Michael J. Young. “As the Chinese New Year approaches, Shanghai Film Week provides an opportunity to celebrate not only the roots of the film industry in China, but also the future of international collaboration between East and West.”

The New York Film Academy would like to thank its partners in organizing the Shanghai Film Week. Partners include the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture, Radio, Film & TV, Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, Information Office of Shanghai Municipality, and Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in New York.
