Some of America’s biggest Chinese-cinema themed events take place in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York because all three major cities have huge Chinese populations. Yet in the booming film market that is Washington, D.C., there is also a desire for Chinese films. The D.C. Chinese Film Festival, which was held from September 4-7, met that need. The event selected 68 titles from 332 submitted films in 29 countries in order to present a well-rounded sample of what independent filmmakers are producing in China. The event was a huge success and many of the more high-profile screenings were greeted with sold-out theatres.
多項美國最大的中國電影主題活動都聚集在洛杉磯、舊金山與紐約，因為這三大城市都有數(shù)量龐大的中國人口。然而正在蓬勃發(fā)展的電影市場當屬華盛頓特區(qū)，這里也有對中國電影的渴望。為滿足這一需求，華盛頓特區(qū)中國電影節(jié)于9月4-7日舉行?；顒釉趤碜?9個國家的332項申報影片中挑選出68項佳作，全面展現(xiàn)中國獨立制片人創(chuàng)作的樣本?；顒荧@得巨大成功，許多備受矚目的放映場次均被搶售一空。
The event is currently set to take place once every two years, but those in charge of the festival are open to the idea of making it a yearly event. They will be holding regular events focused on Chinese cinema in order to keep building uptheir brand.
活動目前設定為每兩年舉辦一次，但節(jié)日負責方也樂意考慮每年舉辦一屆的想法。他們將經(jīng)常舉辦聚焦中國電影的活動，從而維持品牌效應。
