IMAX China CEO Daniel Manwaring: Event films to drive the future of cinema

China's film industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in years. More cinema screens and cheaper tickets are no longer enough to lure audiences back.

For Daniel Manwaring, CEO of IMAX China, the answer lies not in making more films, but in creating event films.
