Xiamen chosen host city for national top film festival for next ten yrs
Xiamen now is home to a provincial film and television industry park, which accommodates more than 500 film enterprises such as BaseFX, a famous international film and television special effects company.
According to Han, the local government will make all-out efforts to ensure its success and cash in on the event to seek further growth in the film and television industry.
Multiple policies supporting the sector's development in Xiamen will be released at the end of June this year, the mayor said.
The city is slated to hold the 28th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival after Xiamen municipal government reached an agreement with China Film Association in November in Foshan of Guangdong province.

Xiamen is one of the most economically competitive cities in China and was one of the first Special Economic Zones on the Chinese mainland. As a vice-provincial city independently listed on the State development plan, it has provincial-level authority in economic administration and local legislative power. In 2010, the Xiamen SEZ was expanded to cover the entire municipality. Today, Xiamen is a modern and international port city.
