Against the backdrop of economic globalization and political multipolarity, global cooperation continues to deepen, and co-produced film and television works have become an important avenue for cultural exchange and dissemination. This paper is grounded in the historical development of China and Russia, the evolution of co-produced film and television works, cultural industry policies, and the current state of co-produced films. It selects a number of co-produced films as case studies to explore their strengths and limitations in terms of themes, production, and promotion. On this basis, the paper further seeks methods and pathways to address the challenges faced by co-produced films, examining the specific practices of diverse stakeholders. By leveraging existing resources and integrating the cultural and market demands of both countries, it proposes innovative approaches in thematic development, aiming to enhance the quality, dissemination, and influence of Sino-Russian co-produced films. Finally, the paper looks ahead to the future development of Sino-Russian co-produced films, with the goal of promoting cultural exchange and cross-cultural communication between the two countries.
