“From the ancient times, the genes of human beings contain the instinct to sit around the fire and listen to the story.” When film writing has a set of fixed rules, and the technological innovation has a rich and colorful presentation, emotions and stories are relegated to the second place. Therefore, in addition to screenings, panels, and financing forums, FIRST gatheres filmmakers to return the film discussion to the core and the source—the story. FIRST Story Night will invite filmmakers, in the most primitive way, with a lamp, a person, a chair, to have an evening whistle.

Past guests: ZHANG Yang, WANG Chuanjun, LI Fei, CUI Yongyuan, LIU Hua
