For many years, Mandarin Film has been working closely with The Earthshot Prize, united by a shared belief in the power of storytelling to inspire action and hope for our planet.

Through our ongoing collaboration, we have had the privilege of capturing the stories of extraordinary innovators. We see people and projects tackling the world’s most pressing environmental challenges with creativity, courage, and optimism. Each film we produce brings their impact to life, connecting global audiences with ideas shaping a sustainable future.

This year, we are proud to cover the video production for two remarkable projects from China recognized as finalists of The Earthshot Prize 2025 – a testament to the country’s growing strength in environmental innovation and its role in driving global sustainability.

🚍 Guangzhou Public Transport Electrification – Clean Our Air

In Guangzhou, one of China’s largest and fastest-growing cities, the public transport system has undergone a complete transformation. With 12,000 electric buses and 10,000 electric taxis now operating across the city, the initiative has already cut 1 million tonnes of carbon emissions and reduced air pollution by 40%. By repurposing retired batteries for clean energy storage, Guangzhou has built a forward-looking model for green, circular urban development.

At Mandarin Film, we believe that meaningful stories can move people – and movement creates change.
We will continue to tell stories that matter – stories that remind us that a more sustainable future is not only possible, but already in the making. 🎥

Thank you all again, so much for your efforts with this project. You put in great time, skill and efficiency in achieving the filming needed. Well done!
