Bona Film Group (博纳影业)

A Beijing film company, listed on the Shenzhen exchange (001330.SZ), that produces and distributes films from mainland China and Hong Kong. It also runs an AI production unit, Bona AIGMS.

Wikipedia says it was founded in 1999 as Polybona, the first private firm in China to receive a film distribution licence, and merged with the China Poly Group in 2003. Its films have included Red Cliff and The Warlords, and its Hong Kong co-productions include several Hong Kong Film Award best pictures.

In July 2024 it released Sanxingdui: Future Revelation, a 13-episode AI-generated science-fiction short drama series on Douyin, with Douyin as co-producer and Douyin's Jimeng AI as chief technical support. Yicai reported that it was made by Bona's AIGMS production centre, which the outlet describes as the company's AI film-production base, and that Bona hoped to show the industry the limits of current AI video. A feature film of the same name is a separate work.
