China: Film studio in Chongqing emerges as premium venue for SCO cinematic cooperation
The Yongchuan Sci-Tech Film Studio in Yongchuan District of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality has emerged as a premium venue for cinematic cooperation among member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). In early July, Yongchuan hosted the five-day 2025 SCO Film Festival, bringing together filmmakers from China, Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, and other SCO member states. The festival showcased a rich tapestry of culturally distinctive film projects, highlighting the growing role of the Yongchuan studio in boosting cultural exchange. The studio boasts a 3,000-square-meter virtual soundstage where background screens change dynamically as cameras move, rendering high-quality visuals instantly. This real-time rendering system dramatically reduces set construction costs and shooting delays, offering filmmakers unprecedented efficiency and creative flexibility. The studio's digital soundstage combines virtual production with motion-capture technology, enabling real-time rendering that allows directors to see final visuals during filming, eliminating the need for extensive post-production. According to Chen Liang, manager of the studio, the facility has attracted growing international interest. Shotlist: Yongchuan District, Chongqing Municipality, southwest China - Recent: 1.

Currently, we are having in-depth discussions with a Pakistani team about shooting a train scene. They became very interested after seeing a demo clip of a similar train sequence we had previously showcased, as such scenes are extremely difficult to film.
