Studies on translation skills and communication of Chinese minority-themed films
among English-speaking audiences show that film critics are interested in the material and
ecological culture presented in these films, while general audiences are interested in universal
themes, topics with small cultural differences, and distinctive ethnic cultures. Investigation into
the international communication shows that online platforms are the main platform for Englishspeaking audiences to watch Chinese minority-themed films, and “word-of-mouth
recommendations” are an effective pathway for their communication. To improve the
international communication effectiveness of Chinese minority-themed films among Englishspeaking audiences, it is necessary to expand distribution channels under favorable government policies, cultivate excellent film talents who can tell Chinese minority-themed stories well, and develop high-end translators who can effectively communicate these films internationally, thereby enhancing their international communication effectiveness.
