The 2014-2015 China International Micro-Film Ceremony kicked off in Chifeng city in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Oct 30. Entering the ceremony for the first time, Baotou received two prizes, including one top prize.

The two prize-winning works submitted by Baotou, “Parents and the oaks” and “Volunteer Teachers in Baotou,” are part of the micro film series “Memories in Lucheng City (Baotou).” The films picked up the Best Micro-Film Prize and the Best Urban Micro-Film Prize respectively.

The judges thought highly of the two films and marveled at Baotou’s outstanding performance in film production, given that it was the first time for them to participate in the competition.
