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.

President's message:

In the long course of history, ten years is just a flick, not worth mentioning. But for a student association that started from scratch and grew step by step, ten years is of profound significance. In ten years, it grows from a few small teams shooting micro films at the beginning to the largest art club in XJTLU with 400 members today, from a single event at the beginning, to a few dozen high-quality events every year as you can see today, from that uncharacteristic and competitive association in those days to the present one which is unique and can represent the large association of XJTLU...Movie club has gone through too much, but the hardships among them, perhaps only for the group talent that he pays heart can be felt truly.

The 2015-2016 school year was the year when the movie club changed the most. For the first time, we issued membership cards to members as a symbol of membership, improved baidu encyclopedia for the movie club, and created countless precedent. We always pursue stability and innovation, so, after two months of planning, we launched a popular large-scale performance competition XJTLU acting king. It is no exaggeration to say that the popularity and influence of acting king are unprecedented. X-Actor fully demonstrated the creative ability of the movie club, as well as our level of attention to the activity. After the activity, in the school there are a lot of media interview, people are surprisingly curious of this process, the answer I gave them is: everyone in movie club knows that X-Actor is not only a stage for students, a whole school carnival, but a platform where club members can exercise. Before holding each activity, the movie club will think about the significance of the activity and the value it can bring, what it can gain internally and what impact it can have externally. This is one of the core values of the movie club, and I think it should also be a question that every club should think about.

In my opinion, another core value of the movie club is "never forget the original intention". In May 2016, we held the 9th college student film festival named "I am one year younger than XJTLU". Although we moved the award ceremony to the Suzhou culture and art center, the largest cinema in Suzhou, we never forgot that the initial intention of the big film festival was to provide a platform for every participant to show and realize their film dream. I will always remember that during the process of holding a big film festival, our staff was too busy to dress up and their legs hurt. Every winner's happy expression completely turns the hard work in the process of making a movie into a beautiful memory. And the audience seems to encourage us to move on. More than half of the audience isn’t members of the movie club. More than 30 percent come from outside the school; About 10% are not students but from all walks of life...This is enough to prove that the movie club is step by step to a broader stage and makes itself known by people outside the campus. I think the most meaningful thing is to let more people know the value of the association while keeping the original heart unchanged. 

What touched me most was that my management team stayed with me throughout the year and went to the High-tech Zone together with Liu Xinyao to ask for sponsorship. With Fan and Feiji, we together edited video overnight; Without them, there would be no today's movie club. The seven of us got together because of our common interests and goals. Although there would be quarrels and minor frictions sometimes, we always kept our original intention of doing a good job in the movie club. I firmly believe that you will also gain a lifetime of friendship in the movie club.

After 2+2, she also followed the growth of the movie club in Liverpool. She cried for the club, laughed for him, got angry and depressed for him, and was so excited for him. I can understand her and know how much pressure she has gone through. I am proud of her because she withstood the pressure and did a good job in this club. I would like to thank her and every member of the management team for their dedication to the movie club this year. I would also like to thank you for your heartfelt love for the movie club. You pay, we see in the eye; We have witnessed your achievements.

I would like to call the movie club a 10-year-old "child", because he is still young and there are still many immature places. We still need to keep our original intention in mind and forge ahead with perseverance. Ten years is a milestone, the significance of which is to sum up the past while saving energy for the future. I hope that the film society will have countless ten years, and I look forward to a more brilliant film society in the new decade.

Finally, I wish movie club, the 10-year-old "child" happy birthday.

Prize speech：

In the 10th year of the movie club, we won the first place in the rating of the club, which not only brought joy to the family, but also touched them. In the studio, there are many brightly lit nights, busy figures on and off the activity, exquisite and unrivalled creativity on and off the camera, and many indispensable factors constitute the wonderful ending. Winning this award, first of all, I would like to thank the school and teachers for their great support to the activities of the movie club. It can be said that there would be no movie club today without the help of the school and the guidance of the teachers. At the same time, it is also the best recognition for the hundreds of staff in the movie club. Movie club will continue to fuel with this affirmation, and strive to create new glory!
