35 分钟Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
From the heart of Beijing to the edges of the global stage, you are at Roundtable.
I'm Neil Helen.
Have you ever watched a film and immediately thought, I want to go there?
Maybe it's a city, a street, or even just a feeling.
This year's Beijing International Film Festival leans into that impulse,
turning films into invitations and the city itself into a kind of open-world experience.
And there are many more highlights, so moviegoers, make sure you stay tuned.
For today's show, I'm joined by Yishun and Steve Hatherly.
Now pull up a chair and join the conversation.
You step out of a cinema.
The credits still rolling in your mind, the streets outside feel different,
almost like part of the film you just watched.
The cafe on the corner could be a scene, the alley down the block feels like a story waiting to happen.
Now, imagine an entire city designed to feel like that way for you,
where films do n't end when you leave the theater, but continue into the streets, the food, the neighborhoods.
From stories that spend decades, to fleeting moments that unfold in a single night,
from intimate human emotions to larger-than-life cinematic world.
And the magic of light and shadow never fails to fascinate me.
