Founded in June 2007, the movie club of XJTLU is the largest art club on the campus. Excluding past members, the movie club has more than 400 members. The management team is composed of DV group, stage play, activity department, MUSE, design department, and film production team. The team is led by the President, two vice presidents, and the heads and deputy heads of each department. As an interest club, the biggest vision of the movie club is to become a club where every member can enjoy the process and harvest.

The movie club provides a free platform for members to shoot whatever they want and perform in whatever form they want.  Movies lovers can share with what their thoughts and reflections of movies, and drama lovers can shine brightly on the stage. Students who love acting can perform in front of the camera, who love telling story can share their imaginations with each other and who are interested in behind-the-scene works can pick up shooting and editing skills.

Whether it is regular activities such as on-campus screenings, school appearances, or large-scale events such as X-acting King and various film festivals, it attracts many followers from inside and outside the school. In the 2016 Ninth XJTLU Film Festival Awards Gala in Suzhou Art Center, the audience of nearly 500 people witnessed the important step of the movie club going out of XJTLU, and such support is the driving force for the movie club to continue to grow. 

Since the establishment of the movie club, it has been awarded Class A Society of art societies of XJTLU for ten consecutive years. In 2015, it was named "2015 XJTLU Annual Society"; in the university association exhibition in Jiangsu Province, it won the honorary title of “Jiangsu Province's Most Influential Society”; in the " Group Battle” of Suzhou Dushu Lake Science and Education Innovation Zone in 2015, it was awarded the title of “Top 10 of Suzhou Dushu Lake Science and Education Innovation Zone's Fanciest Club”... ... These awards are undoubtedly endorsement of the movie club's efforts over the years, and at the same time they also drive us to continue our efforts to develop into a better XJTLU movie club.

When I receive emails and letters from the previous presidents, when photos in my cellphone album increased, when I see the seniors talking about movie club in wechat, when my colleagues and I are writing planning process to do propaganda, when each department are staying up late and working overtime of time, when audience applause at the end of the every film, when the creator cast member share their story while writing plays…These "when" touch me all the time. It's good to know such a club, and lucky to lead such a club. Ten year is not only about memories, but also about those who can still feel the warmth in retrospect. Talking about the days when he shot the film rehearsal activities will still be a twinge of sadness. I've seen these scenes and experienced them over and over again. It's a ten-year club, and it's not just a ten-year club. With sincerity, persistence and love, I hope you can make progress step by step, so that more people can gain joy and memories, skills and friendship here, as well as those unspeakable touching and tears in your eyes. 

It is a great honor for the movie club to receive such an honor, which is not only recognition of the activities of the movie club this year, but also recognition of the work of all the members and the management. The movie club can achieve today's results; first of all, we need to thank the school who to creates the environment of vigorous development of the club, at the same time provides great support to the activities. I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to our tutor Liu Siyuan. In our activities and daily work, she always patiently guides us to improve the planning, implement the plan and impart her experience to us. The success of the movie club today cannot be achieved without her help. Finally, I would like to thank all the members and the management of the movie club. You used the most surging enthusiasm and a lot of time and energy to deal with every work of the movie club, and finally handed in a perfect answer sheet, which made today's movie club. The movie club will make persistent efforts to continue to create brilliance!

President's message:

Decade is like a day.This decade has been long so the club has grown from a club with only one member to XJTLU’s largest arts community. The decade is also too short to forget all the moving moments.

Unconsciously, I have spent a period of two years with the movie club. I am very fortunate to have joined this warm family, learned a lot, and also grew a lot. Time flies quickly, but my previous leader told me, from time to time "we must try our best not to leave regrets." This is because we must know that it is not by accident that MOVIE@XJTLU has achieved its current achievement. It does not depend on someone, but it is the efforts of the past ten generations. We must respect movie club for it contains our ten years hard work. Because it has long been more than a community, it is a mission! As the sustenance of our mission, the movie festival holds the hopes and expectation of the members of the movie club.

Prize speech：

Time flies, it has been a year since I left the movie club, but my memory still stays in last summer's film festival. Club singing, all the people on the stage embraced and cried, this is the moment I cannot forget. Some people say it is the ecstasy after the exertion, and some people say it is just the relief after the activity is over, but I want to say firmly: this is the inheritance of the community spirit!

Since the first day we had join the club, we have such a sense. That is to support such a family, to fight together for honor, and to be proud of the movie club. That seeming arrogant and crazy slogan contains actually out aspiration and ambition to make movie club a great club. If there is no studio lighting up through the night, no devotion behind and in front of camera, no brilliant idea being polished thousands of time, there would be no way for us to get such a prize...In the end, I would like to express my special thanks to the instructors and the school for their support. Without them, there would be no movie club today. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the members of the movie club and the people who care about the development of the movie club.
