Ten domestically-produced films will be honored at the after party, including "Aftershock", "Confucius" and "Bodyguards and Assassins", for their contributions to helping make Chinese movies enjoy a more global appeal.
The directors of 22 international film festivals will attend the "Dialogue between Directors of International Film Festivals" to exchange ideas and discuss the relationship between films and urban development. Pang said this will be the biggest party for directors of international film festivals.
