SIFF2026: Stage is set for Irish-Chinese film productions

China and Ireland share a history of cultural crossovers, Michael Lee, senior film programmer for the Silk Road International Film Festival, says. W.B. Yeats' admiration for Chinese poetry and The Chieftains' tour in China stand out.

Speaking with CGTN's Zhang Meng at the Belt and Road Film Week launch ceremony during the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, Lee sees practical opportunities ahead.

With Ireland actively promoting its film tax relief scheme, Section 481, Lee believes the stage is set for Chinese-Irish co-productions.
