The Film Industry Promotion Act is a 2017 Chinese law related to topics such as film production, film distribution, and film screening.[2] It has been described as the most significant Chinese national level act related to filmmaking up to that date ("the first Chinese film law"[3]), marking the first time the country codified the regulation and development of its film industry.[4]
The act legalized the previously informal practice of imposed a professional ban on filmmakers who sent their films abroad to compete at an international film festival without obtaining a prior approval from a relevant government agency.[5]
