The film has achieved an impressive sweep, winning awards at eight prestigious international film festivals. These include the Venezia Shorts Italy,New York City Film Festival ,Best Hollywood Day Short Film Festival , Hollywood Shorts Fest，New York Indie Short Awards , Nature Without Borders International Film Festival and Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival. Its success was particularly notable at the Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival, where the film garnered over a dozen individual awards. This exceptional achievement has drawn significant attention and acclaim from the global film community.

Born in 1994 in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China, director Mengjia Yan has demonstrated exceptional talent and profound depth in the realm of film and video creation. She solidified her artistic foundation and gained a global perspective by earning a Master of Moving Image from The University of Sydney, which is ranked 18th in the QS World University Rankings. She is currently the CEO and Director of Digital Power Cultural Communication Co., Ltd and a Guest Lecturer at Sichuan University of Media and Communications, where she shares her expertise with future filmmakers.

Director Mengjia Yan is renowned for her acclaimed works and distinctive style, characterized by a pioneering spirit and a humanistic focus. She skillfully uses non-linear narratives and experimental visual language to explore complex human themes. Her early work, "TRAVELLERS," garnered numerous accolades on the international festival circuit. It won the Best Screenplay Award at the New York City Film Festival and the Best Director Award at The Golden Earth Film Awards. The film also secured four nominations for Best Short Film, Best Student Film, Best Director, and Best Screenwritter, and was selected for the YVE International Youth Film Festival, WRPN.TV Short, Tight and Loose Global Film Festival Competition and the The Golden Script Competition. Further demonstrating her versatility and talent across genres, her other work, "SILENCE," was nominated for Short Horror Film

at the International Horror, Fantastic and Action Film Festival and Awards “DROP”. The jury of the New York International Film Festival once highly praised her work, stating it "constructs a complex emotional space with minimalist lens language, blending poetic sensibility with a critical perspective."

The triumph of VITALITY signals a bold new chapter in Mengjia Yan’s artistic journey. By using the triathlon as a narrative lens, the film shatters the mold of traditional sports documentaries. Filmed across Beijing, Hawaii, and Tokyo, it follows athletes from youthful beginners to seasoned veterans, capturing the timeless spirit of competition. The film opens with an infant’s first glimpse of the world, seamlessly connecting the spinning bike wheel to the cycle of life and underscoring its message that vitality knows no bounds. Visually, the team pushes creative limits, turning sweat, breath, and muscle into a mesmerizing visual symphony of data and light. In Hawaii, crashing waves morph into digital art, evoking a powerful dialogue between body and spirit. The story of Liu Peng, a triathlon pioneer and military veteran, anchors the film, reflecting the resilience of the human spirit amid China’s evolving society. Rather than casting athletes as untouchable heroes, Yan reveals their struggles and perseverance, infusing the film with deep empathy and universal resonance.

The successful creation of the outstanding work "VITALITY" has been made possible by the strong support of its producer, Digital Power. Founded on December 20, 2018, the company adheres to the advanced philosophy of "Technology Empowering Culture, Art Nurturing Technology" — utilizing RPA bots for automated advertising, MR technology for digital-physical integration, text-to-video generation, and AI agent collaboration, among other technologies. It is committed to supporting film and television projects that offer social insight and aesthetic breakthroughs. During the creative process of "VITALITY," Digital Power fully leveraged its expertise in digital technology. It transformed the athletes' perspiration on the Beijing course, the powerful impact of Hawaiian waves, and the modern technological aesthetic of Tokyo's Olympic venues into data streams and light particles through advanced digital means. Through the deconstruction and reconstruction of digital art, these elements perfectly echo the film's philosophical exploration of "vitality," crafting a unique audio-visual style for the work. Yanling Gong, the founder of Digital Power, stated, "Through 'VITALITY,' we aim to demonstrate that China's film industry is not only capable of grand narratives but also of conveying nuanced humanistic care through cutting-edge technology." As "VITALITY" continues to be screened at international film festivals, Digital Power has announced the launch of its "Digital Vision Global Initiative." This program aims to unite China's outstanding young directors with frontier technology teams to create pioneering works with global communication power, thereby promoting Chinese film and television culture more effectively on the world stage.

From a strategic perspective, Digital Power has positioned itself at the forefront of the AI landscape, focusing on RPA+Hyper-AI agent and mixed reality (MR) for Enterprise AI transformation. This leading stance is supported by dozens of patents and over a hundred software copyrights, collectively showcasing the company's robust and comprehensive capabilities, as well as its proven capacity for innovation.

The resounding success of director Mengjia Yan's "VITALITY," underpinned by the robust support of Digital Power, has earned exceptional acclaim for China's film and television industry on the global stage. This achievement signifies a pivotal evolution in Chinese cinematic works—moving beyond the mere export of cultural symbols to create profound value resonance with international audiences. It provides invaluable experience and fresh perspectives for the industry's continued development. Looking ahead, we anticipate that Director Mengjia Yan will continue to create more compelling works and that Digital Power will collaborate with an increasing number of creators. Together, they are poised to advance the global dissemination and development of Chinese film and television culture, writing a bold new chapter in its international narrative.
