Why did Jia quit Pingyao Film Festival?

For the reason of withdrawing from Pingyao Film Festival, Jia's response is: "The film festival is passed down from generation to generation. It is not a person, and this mechanism should not be that you can't do it without one person.

So I think it is urgent that we leave early, cultivate a new team, let the new team take over, let Pingyao Film Festival get rid of Jia's shadow and let it gain independent vitality, so we choose to leave when it is strong. "

Judging from the various film festivals, large and small, founded by China, no film festival bears the distinctive imprint of the founder like Pingyao Film Festival. He deeply participated in the renovation design of Pingyao Film Palace. The largest outdoor screening venue in Pingyao Film Palace is called "Platform", which is one of Jia's representative works.

The correlation is as follows

At the press conference on June+10/October 65438+August 8, 2020, Jia, a well-known director and founder of Pingyao International Film Festival, officially announced that Pingyao Film Festival will no longer be run by the current staff from the fifth session, and he will leave his post at this time to get rid of "Jia's shadow" for film screening.

Today, the Propaganda Department of Pingyao County Committee exclusively responded to China Philanthropist, saying: "He (Jia) himself announced (quit), and he didn't communicate with anyone, and the provinces, cities and counties didn't know. Our government's consistent attitude is market operation, company sponsorship, and other support. "

The staff of the Propaganda Department of Pingyao County Committee told China Philanthropist that the government had no response because Jia suddenly announced his withdrawal. "It is still uncertain what to do in the future for such a big thing, and there is no question of who will take over."
