During the 赌博appORUM, Stone will talk with Chinese directors about how they can pursue their artistic dreams while most of the world\'s movie-makers are producing films according to commercial patterns and industrial procedures set by Hollywood.
The forum will also touch on topics such as how to understand the cinema, how to interpret the relation between the self and the film, and how to evaluate various opinions about film and the real world.
