Dunhuang Documentaries

In 1954, the documentary Dunhuang Murals, directed by Xu Ke, was produced by the Central News Documentary Film Studio, marking the first Dunhuang-themed documentary in China. In 1980, The Silk Road, co-produced by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) and China Central Television (CCTV), premiered. This film explored the ancient Silk Road that connected Europe and Asia, showcasing its magnificent landscapes, adventurous stories, culture and arts, and the living conditions of those along the route. Its third episode focuses on Dunhuang, drawing global attention to Dunhuang culture and art.

In 2008, NHK released Dunhuang Mogao Caves: The Complete Beauty, which presented an overview of 30 representative caves at Mogao. In 2010, the Dunhuang Academy and China Television Media Co., Ltd. jointly produced the large-scale cultural documentary Dunhuang, showcasing over 1,000 years of history and life in the Dunhuang region from various perspectives, including foreign explorers, the Mogao Caves, the Library Cave, murals, sculptures, music and dance, the Silk Road, and the guardians of Dunhuang. It premiered on the CCTV News Channel the same year and exerted a significant impact on society. From this documentary, many learned about Dunhuang for the first time and subsequently became advocates and guardians of Dunhuang culture.

With the growing attention on Dunhuang culture since, China has successively launched a series of Dunhuang documentaries, which narrate the rich historical, artistic, technological, and cultural values embodied by Dunhuang as an ancient hub on the Silk Road and a crossroads for exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations from multiple perspectives.
