About Hainan Island International Film Festival
The Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) is a distinguished annual international film event held in Sanya, Hainan Province, China, initiated in 2018. At the important juncture marking the 130th anniversary of the birth of world cinema and the 120th of Chinese cinema, and during the critical period when Hainan Free Trade Port is about to launch the island-wide independent customs operation, the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival was held in Sanya from December 3rd to 9th, 2025.
This year the Festival with the theme of "From Oceans, To The Infinite", aims to achieve "internationalization, marketization, and development of Hainan Free Trade Port". Upholding the festival-running concept of "year-round screening, island-wide showing, mass film-watching, and full-industry-chain involvement", it builds a platform for international film-culture exchange and mutual appreciation of civilizations.
