■The poster theme is “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”, paying tribute to the filmmakers and conveying faith
At the great historical moment of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the 11th BJIFF embraces a greater sense of mission and responsibility.
This year’s poster theme is “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”, and the design features the core element of last year’s poster – windmill projector. With blades turning and the lights on, the curtain is slowly opening. Above the windmill, a team of filmmakers are working there, including the director, cameramen, lighting staff, recording staff, script supervisor, makeup artists… and the Great Wall, Red Building of Peking University and Beijing swifts hovering in the sky emerge behind the curtains.
Movies are the art that people “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”. The theme posters pay tribute not only to all filmmakers making contributions in their own ways, but also to viewers who walk into the theater and spend time seeing the movies.
The Great Wall, Red Building of Peking University and the swifts hovering in the sky deliver profound messages. As a significant symbol of the Chinese nation, the Great Wall embodies the constant vitality of Chinese national spirits. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Peking University is the center of the New Culture Movement and it is where the May Fourth Movement was planned and launched. Besides, it is an important place for the early spread of Marxism in China and a historical witness to the early revolutionary activities of the Communist Party of China in Beijing. The red color of the Red Building of Peking University, and the long Great Wall symbolize the DNA of the Communist Party of China, and strength of Chinese national spirits. Being the most beautiful life in the summer sky of Beijing, swifts are the most loyal witnesses to this city. The use of these three elements demonstrates the sacred mission of film art as it can remember history and convey faith, leading the viewers from where the seeds were planted in history to where they can see a glorious future.

New UV-Resistant, Zero-Maintenance Plants Deliver Year-Round Greenery for Homes, Offices, and Outdoor Spaces
CHARLOTTE, NC, United States, 18th Jun 2026 – Vitalismo, a brand specializing in high-quality lifelike artificial plants, has officially expanded its Amazon product lineup with two new decorative tree collections: artificial cedar topiary and artificial olive tree. Designed for both residential and commercial environments, the new additions reflect the growing demand for low-maintenance greenery solutions that combine aesthetics, convenience, and long-term durability.
As consumer interest in nature-inspired interiors continues to rise, artificial plants are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homes, offices, hospitality venues, and retail spaces. Unlike live plants, artificial greenery requires no watering, pruning, fertilizing, or specialized lighting conditions, while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the year. Advances in simulation craftsmanship and weather-resistant materials have further accelerated adoption of large decorative artificial trees, including olive and cedar varieties, across a wide range of indoor and outdoor settings.
“More consumers today are seeking home décor solutions that balance beauty with convenience,” said a spokesperson for Vitalismo. “Through realistic, low-maintenance artificial plants, we aim to help people create welcoming green spaces that remain vibrant year-round while reducing the effort typically associated with plant care.”
Vitalismo was founded with a simple mission: to help consumers create vibrant, evergreen spaces without the time and resources traditionally required for plant care.
Artificial Cedar and Olive Tree Collections Built Around Evergreen Beauty
Vitalismo’s latest Amazon launches address this trend directly, offering two distinct tree styles that combine detailed craftsmanship with long-term durability and no upkeep requirements.
The Vitalismo Artificial Topiary Cedar Trees are available in five size options, ranging from 2 feet to 6 feet tall. The artificial topiary cedar tree is constructed from high-quality PE material and plastic, with branches and leaves engineered using simulation technology to reproduce the natural layered growth pattern of a cedar tree. The leaves feature clearly defined textures, along with newly designed buds that enhance the sense of organic growth.
A key functional feature is the flexibility of the branches: each unit allows users to bend and reshape the foliage to suit the dimensions and layout of the intended space. This makes the cedar topiary adaptable to narrow entryways, covered patios, balconies, and front porch placements equally well. The trees are odorless, weather-tolerant, and carry a UV-resistant treatment that prevents color fading from prolonged sun exposure, making them suitable for semi-exposed outdoor use as well as indoor display.
Most recently, Vitalismo introduced the Artificial Indoor Olive Trees, which are available in four size options, spanning 5 feet to 8 feet in height. Depending on the size selected, individual units feature between 641 and 1530 meticulously crafted leaves with clear textures, and include decorative artificial olive fruits.
Each unit ships pre-assembled in a heavy-duty pot constructed from durable plastic and concrete for superior stability, and includes a white round planter. The collection has received multiple industry recognitions, including the MUSE Design Awards, American Good Design Award, and Gold Award distinctions, highlighting its realistic appearance, craftsmanship, and decorative versatility.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, Vitalismo remains committed to innovation and sustainability, focusing on creating realistic, high-quality artificial plants that bring vibrant greenery to homes, offices, and commercial spaces year-round. The brand plans to continue developing increasingly lifelike and premium products to provide consumers with the experience of a flourishing natural environment without the challenges of traditional plant care.
At the same time, Vitalismo aims to explore more environmentally friendly and durable materials to extend product longevity and reduce resource waste associated with frequent replacements. The company also intends to expand its artificial plant collections to cater to a wider range of decorative needs across different spaces.
Both the Vitalismo Artificial Topiary Cedar Trees and the Artificial Indoor Olive Trees are currently available on Amazon, with multiple size options listed on each product page.
Vitalismo is a brand specializing in high-quality, lifelike artificial plants, dedicated to providing maintenance-free, evergreen decorative solutions for homes and offices. All Vitalismo products feature UV-resistant and fade-resistant finishes, offering a realistic appearance across every product line. The brand’s plants are non-toxic and safe for households with pets and children, making them a practical choice for a wide range of customers.

CJ William, a Surfside, Florida luxury watch and Hermes dealer, today released its 2026 Luxury Watch Resale Report. The annual analysis combines public secondary-market indices with dealer transaction activity, finding that Patek Philippe led major brands in 2025 and that select Cartier references quietly outperformed the broader market.
SURFSIDE, Fla. – CJ William, a South Florida luxury watch and Hermes dealer, today released its 2026 Luxury Watch Resale Report, an annual analysis of which timepieces held, gained, or lost value across the secondary market over the past year.
The headline finding: luxury watch resale value turned a corner in 2025. After roughly two years of decline, prices stabilized and the strongest references posted real gains. Patek Philippe led all major brands at about 7.7 percent for the year, driven by the Aquanaut and Nautilus, while Rolex stabilized and Audemars Piguet returned to growth. The report also flags a less obvious trend: select Cartier references outperformed the broader market even as headline hype models cooled.
“Everyone watches the Daytona and the Nautilus, and they should, because top-tier Patek, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille continue to hold and in many cases grow their value,” said Eitan Cohen, founder of CJ William. “But the buyers walking into our Surfside showroom in 2026 are asking smarter questions about value, and brands like Cartier are rewarding them.”
“The white-dial Daytona Panda is the single most-requested watch on our desk right now,” Cohen added. “Steel sports Rolex, the Nautilus and the Aquanaut move fast in South Florida, and Cartier prices have quietly climbed even as demand held steady.”
Key findings from the 2026 report include the top 10 references by value retention over the past year, the brands that recovered fastest after the market correction, where value is hiding in 2026, and a South Florida market cut showing which models move fastest in Miami, Surfside and Bal Harbour.
CJ William compiled the report from leading public secondary-market indices combined with its own buying and selling activity, giving a dealer-side view of real demand rather than listing prices alone.
CJ William buys and sells Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier and other luxury watches, with in-house New York authentication, an 18-month warranty and fully insured FedEx overnight shipping. The firm makes same-day offers and welcomes in-person appointments at its Surfside showroom.
