As a result, invitations will be extended to key crews, old artists, industry guests, Peking Opera film crews, and crews featuring Winter Olympics, representatives of key projects of Huairou Film & Television Industry Park and the responsible persons of the film industry, etc., who will show up in different groups.

■ “Beijing Film Market” to launch BJIFF TALENTS and Academy Day for the first time
The “Beijing Film Market” of the 11th BJIFF will include six major sections including Exhibition, Project Pitches, Market Screenings, Industry Conversation, Events & Activities, and Contract Signing Ceremony. With BJIFF TALENTS and Academy Day to be launched for the first time this year, the Closing Ceremonies will witness the revelation of outstanding projects in Project Pitches.
Meanwhile, the Beijing International Film Festival has made further efforts in digital technology. Specifically, it has comprehensively relied on big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence algorithms and other technological means to promote the digitalized upgrade of the three major transaction platforms of film factors, project pitches, and film copyright. From the online perspective, digital means such as cloud connection, remote transactions, and video conferences are adopted to provide guests and media with a better immersive experience of online participation.
■Theme Forum, Workshop & Masterclass make up a high-end film festival
“Theme Forum”. Six theme forums will be held this year, with rich and pragmatic themes. In addition to celebrating the centenary birthday of the Party, the said themes will highlight content creation, film capital development, overseas distribution, virtual production, animation creation, among other directions, based on industry trends and cutting-edge trends in the past two years.
The 11th BJIFF will also release a series of research results and industry reports concerning film investment and financing, film marketing, art film screenings, etc., to give play to its scientificness, leadership, and authority.
The Workshop & Masterclass will feature four sessions, when well-known filmmakers are invited to share the experience and cutting-edge concepts of film creators.
■The poster theme is “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”, paying tribute to the filmmakers and conveying faith
At the great historical moment of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the 11th BJIFF embraces a greater sense of mission and responsibility.
This year’s poster theme is “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”, and the design features the core element of last year’s poster – windmill projector. With blades turning and the lights on, the curtain is slowly opening. Above the windmill, a team of filmmakers are working there, including the director, cameramen, lighting staff, recording staff, script supervisor, makeup artists… and the Great Wall, Red Building of Peking University and Beijing swifts hovering in the sky emerge behind the curtains.
Movies are the art that people “Make Concerted Efforts to Create Light”. The theme posters pay tribute not only to all filmmakers making contributions in their own ways, but also to viewers who walk into the theater and spend time seeing the movies.
The Great Wall, Red Building of Peking University and the swifts hovering in the sky deliver profound messages. As a significant symbol of the Chinese nation, the Great Wall embodies the constant vitality of Chinese national spirits. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Peking University is the center of the New Culture Movement and it is where the May Fourth Movement was planned and launched. Besides, it is an important place for the early spread of Marxism in China and a historical witness to the early revolutionary activities of the Communist Party of China in Beijing. The red color of the Red Building of Peking University, and the long Great Wall symbolize the DNA of the Communist Party of China, and strength of Chinese national spirits. Being the most beautiful life in the summer sky of Beijing, swifts are the most loyal witnesses to this city. The use of these three elements demonstrates the sacred mission of film art as it can remember history and convey faith, leading the viewers from where the seeds were planted in history to where they can see a glorious future.

Allergen-Free Compounding: An Innovative Approach by My Compounding Pharmacy of Roseland Australia
New South Wales, Australia, 20th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Healthcare continues to evolve, and with it, the need for tailored treatment options grows. For many individuals, standard medications are not always the perfect fit due to allergies, sensitivities, dietary restrictions, or specific health needs. Recognizing these unique challenges, My Compounding Pharmacy of Roseland Australia, a trailblazer in personalized medicine, has introduced allergen-free compounding as a solution to bridge the gap in modern healthcare.
The Role of My Compounding Pharmacy in Personalized Healthcare
The team behind My Compounding Pharmacy is a trusted name in crafting customized pharmaceutical solutions. Their commitment lies in offering tailored treatments to meet the health challenges of every individual. This goes beyond simply combining ingredients. It’s about identifying specific patient needs and creating medications that are not only effective but also safe for those with particular sensitivities or allergies.
My Compounding Pharmacy’s approach is built on the belief that no two patients are the same. Whether it’s an adult with dietary restrictions, a child struggling to take a traditional medication form, or an individual looking to avoid allergies like gluten or lactose, the pharmacy can provide a bespoke solution. Their dedication to inclusivity and quality makes them the go-to choice for patients seeking personalized care.
What is Allergen-Free Compounding?
At the heart of My Compounding Pharmacy’s innovation is allergen-free compounding. This specialized service allows for the preparation of medications, skincare products, and other treatments that are completely free of common allergens and irritants. These unwanted ingredients can include preservatives, dyes, gluten, lactose, or artificial fragrances—components that can cause adverse reactions for sensitive patients.
The process ensures that every aspect of the medication is tailored to the individual. These personalized formulations not only reduce the chances of side effects but also provide effective treatments for those who have struggled with standard, off-the-shelf medications. Whether it comes in the form of a capsule, cream, liquid, or even a gummy, allergen-free compounding opens the door to safer and more comfortable options for patients of all ages.
The Benefits of Allergen-Free Medicines
Choosing allergen-free medications carries a range of benefits that go beyond addressing immediate sensitivities. Here are some of the key advantages:
-
Safety and Peace of Mind: Compounded medications are carefully prepared to exclude any ingredients that can trigger reactions. This ensures that patients can take their prescribed medicines without fear of exposure to irritants like preservatives or food-related allergens.
-
Improved Tolerance: Many patients experience unnecessary discomfort due to inactive components in their medications. Allergen-free compounding eliminates these risks, making treatments easier to tolerate and more effective overall.
-
Personalized Care: Every patient has distinct needs, and My Compounding Pharmacy works with healthcare providers to craft medications that meet individual requirements. Whether someone needs a lactose-free formulation or a vegetarian-friendly option, the pharmacy has a tailored solution.
-
Creative Dosage Forms: Medications are not one-size-fits-all. For children or adults with swallowing difficulties, My Compounding can reimagine how medications are delivered—whether in liquid form, a topical ointment, or other custom alternatives.
Addressing Specific Allergies and Sensitivities
My Compounding Pharmacy is equipped to respond to a variety of allergies and sensitivities, ensuring that no patient feels left behind in their healthcare needs. Some common solutions include:
-
Preservative-Free Medications: Many patients find themselves sensitive to preservatives used in commercial medicines. My Compounding creates preservative-free alternatives that are just as effective, without the added irritants.
-
Medication Revamps: Allergies to inactive ingredients like dyes or binders often pose significant challenges. The pharmacy can reformulate medications, replacing problematic components with safer options. This also includes altering medication forms—turning pills into creams, for instance, for patients with unique requirements.
-
Custom Skincare for Skin Allergies: Patients with dermatological sensitivities can benefit from hypoallergenic solutions tailored to their needs. From fragrance-free moisturizers to personalized cleansers, these products are designed to minimize skin reactions while delivering results.
-
Children’s Allergies: Medication for children can be particularly tricky when allergies are involved. My Compounding Pharmacy offers solutions like allergen-free antihistamines and corticosteroids, ensuring that younger patients have access to safe and effective treatments.
An Inclusive Approach to Healthcare
One of the standout elements of My Compounding Pharmacy’s service is its inclusivity. Their process begins with a thorough consultation, during which the patient’s specific allergies, sensitivities, and other needs are carefully assessed. This collaborative approach, involving the patient, healthcare provider, and compounding pharmacist, ensures that every treatment plan is precisely aligned with the individual’s circumstances.
Additionally, My Compounding Pharmacy accommodates dietary and cultural preferences, offering options like Halal, Kosher, vegetarian, and vegan formulations. This thoughtful consideration underscores their commitment to delivering accessible care to all members of the community.
Allergen-Free Options for Common Medications
Some of the most commonly requested allergen-free medications include:
-
Custom Antihistamines: For allergies that cause itching, hives, or nasal congestion, these formulations are tailored to avoid ingredients that can exacerbate sensitivities.
-
Corticosteroids: Used to manage severe allergic reactions, these are compounded to reduce inflammation without including potential allergens.
-
Topical Formulations: For individuals who need transdermal solutions, My Compounding can prepare custom creams, gels, or ointments that bypass allergens while maintaining efficacy.
Redefining Health Journeys with Allergen-Free Solutions
Allergen-free compounding represents a new frontier in personalized medicine, where patients with unique needs are no longer constrained by the limitations of standard treatments. By offering these services, My Compounding Pharmacy of Roseland Australia empowers individuals to take control of their health with solutions that are as unique as they are.
My Compounding Pharmacy has stood as a reliable partner in healthcare innovation.

Jaime Bejar Shares Expert Insights on Ecommerce Trends for 2025: How Brands Can Stay Ahead of the Curve in a Rapidly Evolving Industry
Los Angeles, CA, 20th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Jaime Bejar, a visionary entrepreneur and industry expert, will be offering valuable insights into the future of ecommerce at the upcoming Ecommerce Innovations Summit 2025. With global ecommerce sales reaching over $4.1 trillion in 2024 and projected to surpass $6.4 trillion by 2029, the ecommerce industry is entering a new era of growth and transformation. As technology continues to advance and consumer expectations evolve, brands must be prepared to adapt or risk falling behind. Bejar’s expertise in ecommerce automation, business management, and entrepreneurship will help businesses navigate the challenges of the year ahead.
Jaime Bejar is a respected leader in the ecommerce space, known for his work as the founder of Automate My Cash Flow and creator of Online Empire University. Through these initiatives, Bejar has empowered countless entrepreneurs to achieve financial independence while avoiding the common pitfalls and scams that plague the ecommerce industry. As an expert in automation and business management, Bejar’s insights are invaluable for businesses aiming to stay ahead of the curve in the competitive world of online retail.
As we enter 2025, brands must embrace the latest technologies and strategies that will define the future of ecommerce. From augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to personalized shopping experiences and blockchain for enhanced security, staying competitive requires a proactive approach. In his upcoming presentation at the Ecommerce Innovations Summit, Bejar will explore the key trends shaping ecommerce and provide actionable strategies to help businesses thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.
The Rise of Blockchain: Security and Transparency in Ecommerce
One of the most significant shifts occurring in ecommerce is the rise of blockchain technology. As online shopping continues to grow, so do concerns about data security, fraud, and trust between buyers and sellers. Blockchain technology offers a solution by providing a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger that enhances transaction security, prevents fraud, and improves transparency in online shopping.
According to Statista, the global blockchain technology market is projected to grow from $17 billion in 2023 to over $943 billion by 2032, signaling its rapid adoption across industries, including ecommerce. Bejar will highlight the critical role blockchain will play in the future of ecommerce, as businesses increasingly use it for secure payments, supply chain tracking, and smart contracts. By leveraging blockchain, retailers can offer a safer, more trustworthy shopping experience, helping to build customer confidence in an age where data privacy and security are paramount.
Livestream Shopping: A New Era of Interactive Ecommerce
Another trend that Bejar will discuss at the summit is the rise of livestream shopping. Livestream commerce is rapidly redefining the way consumers discover and purchase products online, blending entertainment with real-time shopping experiences. What was once a niche trend is now becoming a mainstream sales channel, with platforms like TikTok Live, eBay Live, and Whatnot leading the charge.
In 2023, US livestream ecommerce sales reached $50 billion, and this figure is expected to grow to $68 billion by 2026. Retailers are increasingly using livestream shopping to engage audiences, showcase products in action, and drive instant sales. Bejar will discuss how brands can leverage this trend by hosting interactive product demos, exclusive drops, and influencer-led shopping events to encourage real-time engagement. With consumers craving more immersive and authentic shopping experiences, livestream commerce is set to become a major revenue driver in 2025.
Augmented Reality (AR): Bridging the Gap Between Physical and Digital Shopping
One of the greatest challenges of online shopping has always been the inability to see and experience products in-person before making a purchase. Augmented reality (AR) technology is helping bridge that gap by allowing consumers to virtually try on products or view them in 3D before making a decision.
According to eMarketer, the number of AR users in the US is expected to exceed 100 million by the end of 2025, making up 32% of the population. Bejar will explore how AR is revolutionizing ecommerce by enhancing the online shopping experience, reducing return rates, and increasing buyer confidence. Retailers are already using AR for virtual try-ons, interactive 3D product views, and real-world visualization of products, allowing shoppers to engage with products in a way that was previously impossible in the digital space.
Voice Search: Optimizing for the Future of Shopping
As voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant become increasingly integrated into daily life, voice search is becoming an important trend in ecommerce. With 75% of US households expected to own a smart speaker in 2025, Bejar will explain how ecommerce businesses can optimize their platforms for voice search.
Voice search allows consumers to shop hands-free, making the shopping experience more convenient and efficient. As voice technology continues to innovate, Bejar will offer insights into how brands can leverage voice search to enhance customer convenience, improve user experience, and drive significant growth in online sales. Ecommerce platforms like BigCommerce and Shopify are already making strides in optimizing for voice queries, and this trend is set to reshape the way consumers interact with online retail.
Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing Customer Experience
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms have become integral parts of the ecommerce landscape. From chatbots and customer service automation to personalized product recommendations, AI is transforming how businesses interact with consumers and streamline operations.
Bejar will delve into how AI-powered tools are solving customer pain points and improving the overall shopping experience. AI-driven personalization helps brands deliver tailored recommendations based on a customer’s browsing history, preferences, and purchase behavior. Moreover, AI is enhancing inventory management, optimizing supply chains, and even generating custom product images, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively.
With AI’s role in ecommerce continuing to expand, Bejar will highlight its potential to revolutionize the industry in 2025, improving customer engagement, driving sales, and increasing operational efficiency.
Personalization: Creating Seamless, Omnichannel Shopping Experiences
Personalization has become a crucial factor in driving customer loyalty. Research shows that 72% of consumers are more likely to stay loyal to brands that offer personalized experiences. However, personalization goes beyond simply addressing customers by their first names. It involves delivering a tailored shopping experience across all touchpoints, from personalized product recommendations to dynamic pricing and targeted advertising.
Bejar will discuss how businesses can use customer data to create seamless, omnichannel shopping experiences that engage customers at every step of the journey. He will also address the growing importance of data privacy and security, emphasizing the need for transparency and trust in the personalization process. As more consumers become aware of how their data is being used, retailers must provide clear options for opting into personalized experiences while ensuring compliance with consumer privacy laws such as GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

A B2B SaaS firm, meanwhile, optimized its ad placements and automated its content strategy under Kirby’s guidance, leading to a 50% boost in lead generation while cutting acquisition costs. “Smart marketing isn’t about spending more – optimizing every move,” he notes.
He emphasizes the power of data analytics in shaping effective campaigns. Through advanced audience segmentation and machine learning models, brands can predict consumer behavior and adjust their strategies accordingly. “Marketing should no longer be based on guesswork,” says New York’s Augustus Kirby. “Every decision should be backed by data, ensuring brands reach the right people with the right message at the right time.”
Championing Ethical Marketing and Consumer Trust
As data privacy concerns grow, Augustus Kirby emphasizes responsible marketing practices. He advises brands to adopt transparent data usage policies, prioritize authenticity, and embrace ethical personalization. “Trust is the currency of modern marketing,” he says. “Brands that operate with integrity will build lasting customer relationships and stronger market positions.”
He believes that brands that fail to address privacy concerns will struggle to maintain customer loyalty. With global regulations tightening around data collection and usage, businesses must proactively secure consumer trust. “Transparency isn’t optional – it’s a requirement,” he insists. “Customers need to know how their data is being used and have the power to control it.”
The Power of Strong Marketing Leadership
Successful marketing extends beyond campaigns – it requires leadership that unites vision with execution. Kirby believes that today’s top marketing leaders must anticipate industry shifts and foster collaboration within their organizations. “The best marketing leaders don’t just follow trends – they set them,” he explains. “They align business objectives with innovative marketing efforts to create lasting impact.”
Strong leadership also means investing in team development. Augustus Kirby encourages companies to cultivate a culture of continuous learning, where employees are empowered to experiment with new technologies and approaches. “The most successful teams are those that adapt quickly and embrace change,” he notes. “Marketing is evolving too fast for businesses to remain stagnant.”
The Future of Digital Advertising
With digital marketing evolving rapidly, New York’s Augustus Kirby predicts significant shifts in the industry, from voice search optimization to AI-generated video content and advanced sentiment analysis. “The brands that succeed will be those that balance technology with a human touch,” he remarks. His ability to integrate emerging trends with ethical best practices keeps his clients ahead of the curve.
He highlights interactive email marketing as a growing trend. Consumers demand more engaging content, and brands incorporating dynamic elements – such as embedded videos, live polls, and gamification – will stand out in crowded inboxes. “Static emails are a thing of the past,” he says. “Marketing is becoming more immersive, and companies must adapt.”
Additionally, Kirby sees programmatic advertising and real-time bidding (RTB) as key drivers of efficiency in digital campaigns. By leveraging automation, brands can optimize ad placements, reduce costs, and precisely reach highly targeted audiences. “Smart ad placement is the future,” he states. “It’s not just about visibility – it’s about reaching the right audience at the right moment.”
Beyond Marketing: Passion and Purpose
When he’s not advising brands, Augustus Kirby can often be found on the water, kayaking across the U.S. and beyond. His adventurous spirit extends to philanthropy, where he actively supports charities that assist underprivileged children. “Success isn’t just about business,” he says. “It’s about making a difference where it matters.”
Kirby’s philanthropic efforts include donations to educational programs and sponsorship of initiatives providing resources to needy children. “Education and opportunity should not be limited by geography or circumstances,” he asserts. “Giving back is a responsibility, not an option.”
What’s Next for Augustus Kirby?
As businesses navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape, Augustus Kirby remains a go-to expert for those looking to merge data-driven strategy with ethical marketing. His focus is shifting toward helping brands build resilient marketing infrastructures that can withstand industry disruptions. “Marketing is about evolution,” he concludes. “Companies that innovate while staying true to their values will not just survive – they’ll thrive.”
Looking ahead, New York’s Augustus Kirby is exploring new AI and machine learning applications in marketing automation, aiming to streamline workflows and improve conversion rates even further. His consulting firm continues to work with brands ready to embrace change and build future-proof marketing strategies. “The future belongs to those who innovate fearlessly,” he states. And I plan to help brands lead that charge.”
