The Film Industry Promotion Act is a 2017 Chinese law related to topics such as film production,film distribution,and film screening. [2] It has been described as the most significant Chinese national level act related to filmmaking up to that date ("the first Chinese film law" [3] ),marking the first time the country codified the regulation and development of its film industry. [4]
The act legalized the previously informal practice of imposed a professional ban on filmmakers who sent their films abroad to compete at an international film festival without obtaining a prior approval from a relevant government agency. [5]
