Welcome to the debut event of the Ginkgo Film Festival 2025 (GFF2025)! This year, our festival takes on a special meaning as we join in celebrating the 20th anniversary of Beijing City International School (BCIS)—the host school of GFF2025. For the past two decades, BCIS has set the standard for academic excellence and visionary mindsets, inspiring the next generation of leaders and storytellers, which includes the young innovators who make up GFF. Thus, GFF2025 aims to provide an open, global platform where filmmakers in Grades 1-12 from every corner of the world can share their unique voices, expressing their creativity and passion through the art of film.  

​

Join us this September in Beijing, where the BCIS campus will serve as the welcoming venue for our offline film screenings. Here, history and future converge: BCIS’s rich legacy underpins the vibrant spirit of GFF, fostering an environment where all participants’ talents are celebrated. We invite you to be part of this intersection, contributing to the annual creative exploration of a globally relevant theme.
