Passing on experience
In 2014, Zhang Ziwei embarked on her journey, working on the selection of original student films during her graduate studies at Beijing Normal University. A year later, she assumed leadership of a team comprising a dozen students to manage the program.
After gathering over 2,000 original works from across the country, they invited more than 100 college students from various universities to serve as judges, asking them to select their personal favorites. These chosen works were then evaluated by professional judges to determine the recipients of the awards. The small team also had to organize an awards ceremony.
