This year’s event has attracted 34 works by 14 television production companies, which are divided into two categories: miniseries (under 10 episodes), and long series (no limit on the number of episodes).
The festival also serves as a platform for TV producers to share experiences and propose new directions. There will also be two seminars on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in television and data exploitation, highlighting the digital transformation trend to become an important factor influencing the production and distribution of television drama series.
