How a cultural event promotes dialogue among civilizations

Published

on

An article published in CGTN highlights a grand gathering of the culture industry unfolding in the vibrant Chinese city of Chengdu. The second Golden Panda Awards, taking place on September 12 and 13, celebrate excellence in film, TV drama, documentary and animation from around the world. Moreover, the biennial ceremony is a celebration of world civilizations, aiming to serve as a platform for dialogue grounded in the principles of mutual respect and learning.

 

Blending traditional Chinese mythology with breathtaking visual effects, Ne Zha 2 has rewritten the history of China’s cinema. Born in Chengdu, the animated sensation has been crowned the country’s all-time No. 1 film at the box office and shattered the world record for animated features.

This same city – Chengdu – once again took center stage on Friday as it kicked off the 2025 Golden Panda Awards, a grand cultural event that aims to bring artists, cultural leaders, and industry professionals from across the globe together in a celebration of intercultural exchange.

The Golden Panda Awards were first launched two years ago in Sichuan Province, home to China’s giant pandas – a cultural icon symbolizing peace and friendship. The biannual event aims to foster dialogue and learning between cultures by recognizing outstanding global film, TV drama, documentary and animation works.

This year’s edition, the second in the Awards history, will see 27 gongs handed out and a packed program full of forums, screenings and cultural activities.

At the center of it all is the 2025 Golden Panda International Cultural Forum, a platform for experts in culture, science and technology to engage in topics such as how artificial intelligence, cinematic language and ecological innovation are reshaping art and society.

“Dialogue among civilizations is not a matter of choice but a universal necessity,” said Egypt’s Minister of Culture Ahmed Fouad Hanno. “The arts can open avenues for dialogue and promote peace, creativity, and innovation.”

Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, laid stress on culture’s power to “cross borders, unite hearts and reshape narratives.” She hopes that African and Chinese cooperation in gaming and animation could help to “redefine Africa’s identity and invite the world to see our continent with fresh eyes.”

In 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping introduced the Global Civilization Initiative, putting forward a new vision for humanity, one where world civilizations coexist in mutual respect rather than vie for superiority. The Golden Panda Awards bring his vision into life.

Beyond the forum, cultural exchanges such as the “Panda Takes You to Look Around the World” exhibition are expected to connect filmmakers, producers and investors in fostering global cooperation in film and television. The “Let’s Watch Movies Together” screenings of classic films featured titles such as The Legend of 1900, A Separation, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, capturing the public’s imagination. Meanwhile, a short video and graphics campaign titled “Our Panda” has collected over 70,000 submissions from more than 50 countries.

This year’s awards have attracted entries from 126 countries and regions – 22 more than the inaugural edition – with overseas works making up more than 73 percent. Jury members praised the diversity of voices and perspectives. “We are seeing stories from more regions, with Chinese stories particularly impressive,” said Mal Young, an award-winning TV producer and screenwriter from the UK, also the chair of the jury for the TV Drama category.

For many participants, the Golden Panda Awards represent more than recognition of artistic excellence; they are a building block in a bridge of friendship between East and West. Winner of the 2023 Best Actor award for his role in the 2020 Holocaust film Persian Lessons, Nahuel Perez Biscayart, of Argentina, said, “Good stories have no borders. Human resonance is the true universal language.”

Embodying President Xi’s words that “Diversity spurs interaction among civilizations, which in turn promotes mutual learning and their further development,” the Golden Panda Awards use the language of film and television to bring diverse cultures onto a shared stage where everyone can shine equally.

Published

Sandromeda Music Services announces a towering 10-foot Mega Photo Booth featuring a 30-inch viewing screen, engineered for high-traffic events with fast sharing and branding options.

Grandville, Michigan, United States, 13th Sep 2025 – Sandromeda Music Services today introduced a large-format photo experience built to command attention at modern gatherings. The 10-foot Mega Photo Booth rises over busy floors and stages, pairing its height with a vivid 30-inch viewing screen to make posing and playback visible from across the room. The system is engineered to turn casual snapshots into showpiece moments, ensuring guests see themselves clearly while organizers benefit from a focal point that draws steady foot traffic.

Large-Scale Presence Designed for Impact

The new installation brings the scale of a set piece to private and corporate environments. Its towering frame and oversized display are designed to create a visual anchor that stands out amid décor, signage, and AV builds. The screen presents live previews and instant replays so participants can adjust their stance, synchronize group shots, and celebrate their captures without crowding around a small interface. The result is a constant cycle of engagement that keeps lines moving while maintaining an elevated, stage-like feel.

Built for Weddings, Corporate Functions, and High-Volume Parties

Sandromeda developed the booth for occasions where reliability and throughput matter as much as spectacle. Weddings gain a centerpiece that guests can spot from the dance floor, reducing congestion and encouraging multi-generational participation. Corporate programs benefit from a branded attraction that welcomes attendees between sessions and during receptions. Social parties see the energy of the room reflected on the large display, encouraging spontaneous posing and repeat visits throughout the event.

Elevated Visuals and Streamlined Guest Flow

The Mega Photo Booth emphasizes clarity and ease of use. The large viewing screen guides users with simple prompts and spacious on-screen controls, allowing groups to align quickly and capture wide, flattering frames. Professional-grade lighting and a stabilized capture path are tuned to maintain consistency as conditions shift, while the interface supports rapid retakes to keep lines short. Hosts can enable digital delivery methods suited to the crowd, including on-site QR retrieval and post-event gallery access, ensuring images reach guests without delay.

Branding, Creative Control, and Production Readiness

Event teams can extend their visual identity through on-screen overlays, custom start screens, and backdrop coordination, transforming the booth into a cohesive element of the overall design. The structure is optimized for quick setup and strike within typical venue load-in windows, and it runs on standard power to integrate smoothly with AV plans. Sandromeda’s staffing model supports continuous operation during peak periods, with on-site attendants helping maintain flow and assisting guests so planners can focus on the run of show.

Availability and Booking Information

The 10-foot Mega Photo Booth is now open for bookings across a range of event types and timelines. Sandromeda Music Services is scheduling dates for the current season and beyond, with consultation available to align creative treatments, floor plans, and program objectives. Organizers seeking a headline attraction that elevates participation and delivers memorable content can incorporate the Mega Photo Booth as a central feature of their next event.

Speese Painting Co., LLC has introduced a dedicated service line for churches in Grand Rapids, offering interior sanctuary painting, exterior restoration, mural touch-ups, and lead-safe work for historic structures. The program is designed around worship schedules, preservation needs, and long-term protection against Michigan weather.

Rockford, Michigan, United States, 13th Sep 2025 — Speese Painting Co., LLC has expanded its Church Painting & Restoration services to support congregations across Grand Rapids with projects that respect the beauty, heritage, and daily function of houses of worship. Built on meticulous preparation and disciplined quality control, the program integrates preservation-minded practices with modern coatings technology to deliver long-lasting results—without interrupting ministries, services, or community events.

Purpose-Built Services for Sacred Spaces

Interior Sanctuary Painting
Careful preparation and painting of walls, ceilings, woodwork, pews, trim, railings, and doors. Project teams implement comprehensive protection plans for altars, pulpits, organs, instruments, AV systems, flooring, and textiles. Staging is planned to keep aisles clear and seating usable whenever possible.

Exterior Restoration
Restoration and coating of steeples, siding, trim, windows, brickwork, masonry, and ironwork—engineered to withstand Michigan’s freeze–thaw cycles, UV exposure, and moisture. Scope can include minor carpentry repairs, selective wood replacement, rust conversion for metal, and breathable masonry coatings for heritage substrates.

Mural Touch-Ups & Decorative Finishes
Sensitive cleaning and in-kind touch-ups of existing murals, stenciling, gilding, and faux finishes. For full historic conservation, Speese Painting coordinates with specialty conservators to ensure appropriate methods and documentation.

Lead-Safe Painting for Historic Structures
Lead-aware practices for pre-1978 buildings, with containment, HEPA filtration, and compliant cleanup procedures to help safeguard congregations, staff, and visitors. Documentation and clear communication keep church leadership informed at every step.

Worship-First Scheduling & Site Logistics

Projects are planned around worship services, weddings, funerals, rehearsals, and community gatherings. Speese Painting offers evening/weekend work windows, phased areas, and clear signage to maintain access. Lift and steeple access are coordinated for safety and minimal neighborhood impact, with traffic cones, barricades, and pedestrian routing as needed.

Technical Approach & Materials

Surface Prep: Hand scraping, sanding, dust control, rust treatment, epoxy or elastomeric patching (where appropriate), and substrate-specific priming.

Coatings Systems: Low-odor, low-VOC interior finishes; UV- and moisture-resistant exterior systems; breathable mineral or silicate options for masonry; anti-corrosive primers for metals; satin or semi-gloss enamels for high-touch woodwork.

Color Management: Heritage palette matching, undertone evaluation under sanctuary lighting, large-format sampling, and test patches observed across multiple daylight conditions.

Quality Assurance & Safety

Daily checklists, progress photos, and punch-list tracking ensure consistency from setup to final walkthrough. Job sites follow strict housekeeping standards with daily cleanup, labeled containment, and odor management. Crews adhere to ladder, lift, and fall-protection protocols; MSDS/SDS and safety plans are available on-site.

Typical Outcomes for Congregations

  • Restored architectural character and warmth in sanctuaries and naves
  • Improved durability and reduced maintenance cycles for exteriors
  • Better light reflectance, acoustical comfort, and visibility for AV/streaming
