While ongoing COVID lockdowns have almost certainly played a role in the country’s muted presence this year, insiders say the decision last year to screen a doc about pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong led Beijing to unofficially bar fest attendance.
2022 has been palpable as the global film industry comes together again to celebrate cinema after two hard years of the coronavirus pandemic. But one of the biggest players in the business of film remains conspicuously missing: China.

With Shanghai, Beijing and more than a dozen other major Chinese cities weathering varying degrees of lockdown as Xi Jinping’s government holds fast to its “dynamic zero-COVID” strategy, the number of Chinese buyers and sellers at the festival has dwindled from scores several years ago to just the rare few in 2022.
