Abstract

This paper focuses on the crucial role of documentary films as significant cultural carriers and communication media in disseminating the voice of China to the world and shaping a positive media image of Tibet. It investigates how documentaries can actively engage in constructing a Tibet that the world can identify with, examining the three dimensions of cross-cultural communicative ability: emotion, cognition, and behavior. By analyzing and studying the creation of the new media documentary "Overseas Students' Journey in Tibet" from the Visual Action Training Camp of the Communication University of China, this paper proposes a documentary cross-cultural communication strategy that promotes a dialogue, fostering an ethos of "equal coexistence" and "unlimited dissemination."
