Constructing a community of shared emotions in China-Latin American film interactions under the perspective of a community with a shared future for mankind between China and Latin America

Abstract

China and Latin America have a long history of humanistic interactions, and their interactions in the field of movies have continued for more than half a century, but at present, Chinese movies in Latin America still remain outside the dubbing and subtitling translation system, with a small market share, low audience acquisition rates, and limited audience acceptance. Films are carriers of culture and bridges for mutual understanding between people. The current challenges in China-Latin American film interactions reflect pressing issues that need to be addressed in China-Latin American cultural relations. In the broader context of a community with a shared future for mankind, President Xi Jinping proposed 11 years ago to establish a community with a shared future between China and Latin America. Since then, China-Latin America relations have ushered in a new era characterized by equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness, and people-centered development, offering ideological guidance and value orientation for bilateral cooperation in movie interactions. Based on the value system of constructing a shared future for China and Latin America, the common experiences, positions, and dreams of their peoples have forged a community of shared emotions, thereby vigorously promoting film interactions and fostering mutual understanding, learning and flourishing between the two civilizations.
