Art photography should have its own characteristics.

There may be some problems in holding international film exhibitions in the form of image classification in China, that is, whether the classification method uses international languages. Sometimes the classification of topics will confuse foreign participants and make them have no accurate understanding. Some foreign photographers will ask me the difference between reports and documentaries, because there is no strict classification abroad. There are also some contestants who have not accurately judged and grasped the category of their works, and the photos submitted do not meet the requirements of the rules. Unfortunately, all the photos caused by this reason are out of the game. Therefore, it is very important to understand international languages and formulate international classification methods. This year's international film festival has changed the way of classification by theme in previous years, and it is divided into color category and black and white category. This classification method is more in line with international standards in photography and photography language.

This year's International Film Festival will not classify post-production photos separately, but merge them into two categories: black and white and color. This is a signal that the international film festival is more inclusive, making the photography language more popular, making its own characteristics and attracting more people to participate.

The key factor to win the judges' attention is whether the use of photographic language is pure and appropriate, whether it can clearly reflect the essence of photographic language and whether it has its own distinctive characteristics. At the selection site of the 1 1 International Film Festival, the international judges disagreed on the category of Two Romanian Workers (the work of Italian photographer Marcelo Materazzi), which later won the gold medal of Social Life and Folklore. However, under the differences, the judges must be consistent in the use of photo photography language, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and this photo won the gold medal.
