Before the opening ceremony, top entertainers including movie stars cheung pak chi, Zhang Hanyu, Su Youpeng and Chinese "Super Girl" winner Zhang Liangying walked through the red carpet, raising fans' cheer and screaming.
Shen Jian, a producer of Chinese movie channel CCTV6, said the first New York Chinese Film Festival is to introduce Chinese history and social reality to the American public and show the achievements of the Chinese movie industry.
"New York is the center of economy and finance in the U.S. and also a city with highly-developed media and entertainment industry." He said.
"Chinese film festival held here is of great significance. The movie is a bridge to connect people's minds. It can help the people in New York understand the dream and pursuit of Chinese people through the screen."
The opening movie "Deep in the Clouds," which gained three awards in 13th Shanghai Film Festival, told a story about Chinese minority people's lives.
The film festival is jointly held by the Chinese American Arts Council and Chinese movie channel CCTV6.
