1905 Film Network News From November 13 to 20, 2020, the 3rd Hainan Island International Film Festival successively announced the film list of its eight major screening units at the frequency of one unit per day, which attracted people's attention.

The eight units have their own emphases and styles, and at the end of the year, across time and space, they review the world film landscape of this year.
