Recall that in January 2024 in the PRC in the city of Chongqing were successfully held events of the Chinese segment of the week of documentary cinema international festival “Golden Tree”. The main award “Golden Tree” received the film “Guranay”, which tells the story of an elderly couple growing trees in the desert. The event aroused great interest among Chinese Internet users, with more than 300 million people following the film.

In total, nearly 30,000 documentary filmmakers from 164 countries and regions have participated in the Golden Tree International Documentary Film Festival over the previous years.
