2025年8月，真实影像（Real Image Media）应孟加拉国主办方邀请，参加由Dhaka DocLab主办的纪录片制作人亚洲论坛（Asian Forum for Documentary Filmmakers）。该论坛作为南亚最重要的纪录片创投与交流平台之一，旨在通过工作坊、提案展示及一对一洽谈，为亚洲各地的纪录片导演、制片人与国际合作伙伴搭建沟通桥梁。
今年的论坛包括发展中项目展示、样片剪辑提案分享，以及为期多日的项目洽谈会，吸引了来自南亚、东南亚乃至更广范围的优秀纪录片创作者。来自孟加拉、印度、巴基斯坦及菲律宾等国家的入围提案，题材涵盖社会议题、文化传承、家庭记忆与全球化背景下的身份认同，展现了亚洲纪录片创作的活力与多样性。
真实影像作为中国内地唯一代表受邀参加此次论坛，评委会安排特别环节与众多入围项目创作人进行对话，探讨未来的国际合作与共同制作的可能性。包括如家庭记忆探寻社会真相，有的记录了移民与文化传承的矛盾冲突，这些都与真实影像长期关注的全球社会议题形成呼应。
真实影像合伙人卢嘉琳在与会时表示：“作为真实影像的国际制片人，我对刚才听到的入围项目深受感动。这些作品，无论是关于家庭、文化、身份还是坚韧，都展现了纪录片作为媒介的独特力量。”
卢嘉琳还说到：“对真实影像来说，合作不仅仅是联合制作，更是搭建桥梁——让不同国家、社区与视角相互连接。我们期待在未来与其中一些项目展开更深入的合作，并共同把这些真实的亚洲故事带向国际舞台。”
作为一家致力于推动跨文化影像交流的机构，真实影像非常珍视与孟加拉及南亚创作者的持续互动。我们相信，纪录片不仅是影像艺术，更是跨越地域的公共语言。在新的国际合作中，真实影像将继续支持具有独特视角与社会价值的创作力量，为亚洲纪录片的发展贡献更多可能性。
In August 2025, Real Image Media was invited by Bangladeshi organizers to participate in the Asian Forum for Documentary Filmmakers hosted by Dhaka DocLab. As one of the most important platforms for documentary pitching and exchange in South Asia, the forum aims to build a communication bridge between documentary directors, producers from across Asia and international partners through workshops, proposal presentations and one-on-one meetings.
This year's forum included presentations of in-development projects, sharing of sample edit proposals, and multi-day project meetings, attracting outstanding documentary creators from South Asia, Southeast Asia and beyond. The shortlisted proposals from countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines cover social issues, cultural heritage, family memories and identity in the context of globalization, demonstrating the vitality and diversity of documentary creation in Asia.
As the only representative from mainland China invited to the forum, Real Image Media was arranged with a special session by the jury to dialogue with many creators of the shortlisted projects, exploring the possibilities of future international cooperation and co-production. Topics such as exploring social truths through family memories and recording conflicts between immigration and cultural heritage echo the global social issues that Real Image Media has long focused on.
Lu Jialin, partner of Real Image Media, said at the forum: "As an international producer of Real Image Media, I was deeply moved by the shortlisted projects I just heard. These works, whether about family, culture, identity or resilience, show the unique power of documentaries as a medium."
Lu Jialin also said: "For Real Image Media, cooperation is not just co-production, but also building bridges - connecting different countries, communities and perspectives. We look forward to carrying out more in-depth cooperation with some of these projects in the future and jointly bringing these real Asian stories to the international stage."
As an organization committed to promoting cross-cultural image exchanges, Real Image Media highly values the continuous interaction with creators from Bangladesh and South Asia. We believe that documentaries are not only a visual art, but also a public language that transcends geographical boundaries. In new international cooperation, Real Image Media will continue to support creative forces with unique perspectives and social values, contributing more possibilities to the development of Asian documentaries.
