Guest Speech
My dear friends:
It's my pleasure to meet you all on such a wonderful day at this new and young Golden Tree Interational Documentary Film Festival.
The idea that would later become the Golden Tree Interational Documentary Film Festival was first conceived in 2011, and since then, the Festival has been bom and is now growing and developing rapidly.
We have enjoyed the enthusiastic participation of many thinkers from five different continents, including France, Germany, China,Italy,Greece, Israel, India, Senegal, Mexico, Brazil, Canada and the United Kingdom. We have received the positive support of experts in the field of documentaries from all over the world. We are moved by their noble thoughts, unique opinions and hard work, and strive to follow their example.
The Golden Tree Interational Documentary Film Festival, with the theme of Man& Nature,follows visions and the roots of culture to explore the source of culture using the lens of a camera. Films that are rooted in a particular place, history, or culture, are spread from one continent to another, to explore exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations.
We hope that, through the Golden Tree Interational Documentary Film Festival and the Golden Tree's Internet platform, we can connect the documentary industry of the East and the West. Through our services, we help documentaries complete transactions,facilitate the exchange and cooperation between documentary makers and capital and help documentary makers be proud.
Welcome to the Golden Tree International Documentary Film Festival!
