The starting point of this forum is based on a group of documentary filmmakers who are good at us images to collide with social development.They believe that the real power is the channel to reach the inner heart of the audience as well as the source of changing the world.Whether it is education,medical care,or social development,environmental protection and other public issues,they can always dig and inspire every social topic though storytelling to effect the Chinese society.This is their responsibility at the same time their dream.However,in the past few years,people have become increasingly aware that the force to pass on documentary images depends not only on the ability of creation,but more importantly,the resources of the entire society for further support and influence.This is exactly what has been neglected for a long time.At a time when information resources are rapidly accumulating,how to gather social resources that are of common concern like policy makers,public organizations,professional organizations,third-party forces,enterprises,media,foundations,and even the public,to build a crossover platform and jointly use images to promote social progress?How to find new influential content and image paths through dialogue between different fields?This is a challenge we face and an unprecedented opportunity for us as well.
