At the opening ceremony, Wei Mingke, Consul General of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Denmark in Shanghai, and Sun Xianghui, Director of the China Film Archive and Director of the China Film Art Research Center, delivered speeches. Consul General's wife Wei Ruotang, Deputy Director of the Denmark Cultural Center Yu Bohou, Member of the Standing Committee of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Propaganda Department Jin Jie and other guests attended the opening ceremony.
In his speech, Wei Mingke said that movies can provide us with an insight window into cultural mutual learning, and when the audience watches Denmark films, they may find many commonalities between the two peoples. Carl Theodore · Delaier · recognized not only as the father of Denmark cinema, but also widely regarded as one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema. I hope that you can learn more about Denmark and Denmark cinema by watching Dreyer's works, and in the process, gain a new understanding of yourself.
Sun Xianghui said that since the opening of the Jiangnan Branch of the China Film Archive in Suzhou on June 6, it has received support and suggestions from many fans. This October, the Jiangnan Branch Museum specially presented this screening of Delaier's works, hoping to add a strong Denmark style to Gusu.
Carl Theodore · · directed 14 feature films and 8 short films during his lifetime, influencing many filmmakers in later generations. These films are diverse, passionate, sympathetic, and have a unique visual language. Six of the most representative films – The Lord of a House (1926), Joan of Arc (1928), The Vampire (1932), The Day of Vengeance (1943), Words (1955) and Ge Chu (1964) – were screened in October.
In addition to the thematic film screenings, the China Film Archive and the Denmark Cultural Center have jointly curated the accompanying exhibition "Black Roses and White Roses: Women in the Lens of Film Giants", located on the fourth floor of the Jiangnan Branch Library, aiming to let fans better approach Dreyer's works and understand his legendary life in a colorful form.
At the opening event, the organizer specially screened Delaile's classic "Ge Chu". It premiered in 1964 and was Dreyer's last film. Despite the 60 years that have passed, the film's modern artistic expression, including the profound philosophical reflections contained in it, has made the film a classic that has touched generations of audiences.
It is reported that the screening will last until October 20. (Su Bao financial media reporter Wang Minyue intern Weng Fancheng text/photo/video)
