From her beginnings as an animation director to her current role as the festival director of Feinaki Beijing Animation Week, Zhu Yantong has never lost her passion for the craft.

In her film My Milk Cup Cow, she breathed life into the tender memories of her childhood with her father, etching their shared past into every frame. Today, alongside a circle of animation enthusiasts, she co-founded Feinaki Beijing Animation Week, a vital platform where the works of fellow animation directors are truly seen and heard.

In an era where AI can effortlessly mimic artistic styles, Zhu remains a firm believer in the power of hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation, which she sees as a vessel for an artist's unique life experience. For her, the ultimate calling is for every artist to unearth their own light and walk a path that belongs to them alone.
