The core soul of this event is the poetry film movement initiated by Cao Shui. His Manifesto of Poetry Film Movement gives modern significance to contemporary poetry and cross-cultural communication, becoming a spiritual bond for global poets. First, the movement integrates poetry with film and audio to revitalize traditional written poetry, making it visual and accessible. It revives the oral tradition of poetry and brings literary works to the public, solving the problem of difficult promotion and communication for contemporary poetry. Second, guided by the world poetics concept of integrating East and West, past and present, Cao Shui builds an exchange bridge between Chinese and foreign poetry. As a creator, translator and promoter, he translates multilingual poems and introduces global poetic works to China while spreading Chinese poetry abroad. Third, the movement reconstructs the creative ecology of poetry, combining lyrical expression with visual narration and providing new ideas for global poets. The 3rd Beijing International Poetry Film Awards practices this concept, gathering poets worldwide to promote the integration and symbiosis of the global poetry movement. Finally, the movement uses poetry film to convey universal human emotions such as love, hope and peace, echoing the mission of World Poetry Day and making poetry a shared language of mankind.

The Poetry Film Movement originated from the Manifesto of the Poetry Film Movement written by Cao Shui on December 24, 2017. On May 19, 2023, Cao Shui, together with Zhang Jianjun and Fan Qun, jointly signed the revised version of the Manifesto of the Poetry Film Movement at Zhengyang Gate in Beijing, near the birthplace of Chinese cinema, officially launching the Poetry Film Movement in China. They successfully held the first Beijing International Poetry Film Spring Festival Gala during the 2024 Spring Festival. Poetry film originated from French avant-garde cinema. According to Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock, who introduced relevant information to Cao Shui, Moving Poems Magazine has listed six internationally influential poetry film festivals: Cadence Poetry Film Festival in Seattle, USA; REELpoetry Festival in Houston, USA; Weimar Poetry Film Award in Weimar, Germany; International Video Poetry Festival in Athens, Greece; Les Instants Video in Marseille, France; and Midwest Video Poetry Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. In China, there is also the “Huiyu Film Island Poetry Film Spring Festival Gala” founded in 2024. Together with the “Beijing International Poetry Film Spring Festival Gala”, there are a total of 8 poetry film festivals. As a pioneering international art movement, poetry film is growing vigorously around the world.

After the successful holding of the Beijing International Poetry Film Spring Festival Gala, numerous media outlets at home and abroad covered the event, praising poetry film as “a creative art”, “the greatest contribution of Chinese literature to world literature”, and “a perfect integration of poetry and film”. As stated in the Manifesto of the Poetry Film Movement: “Every era has its own 'dominant discipline'. In agrarian society, it was lyric literature characterized by poetry; in industrial society, it was narrative literature characterized by novels; in the information society, it is dramatic literature characterized by film literature. From now on, we will vigorously promote the Poetry Film Movement, commit to cinematizing poetry, let the ancient lyric literature from the agrarian era embrace the modern narrative literature from the information age, enable films to gain deeper poetic essence, and allow poetry to find better expression.”

At present, the Chinese Poetry Film Movement is jointly promoted by the Great Poetry Movement, the World Poetry Movement, the Dramatized Novel Movement, the BRICS Writers Association. It has produced poetry films for more than 200 poets from over 50 countries, and plans to hold the Beijing International Poetry Film Festival annually to further advance the development of poetry film.

The presentation of the 3rd Beijing International Poetry Film Awards is not only a concentrated recognition of the world's outstanding poetry film creation, but also a global implementation of Cao Shui's Poetry Film Movement concept. Poets and literary professionals from 30 countries and regions gathered together for poetry film, which not only witnessed the innovative achievements of the integration of poetry and film art, but also demonstrated the infinite possibility of cross-cultural communication of contemporary poetry. Under the guidance of Cao Shui'sManifesto of the Poetry Film Movement, poetry film is becoming a new trend in the development of world poetry, making poetry glow with new vitality in the era of media integration, and making the beauty of poetry from different civilizations bloom more dazzlingly in exchange and integration.
