The 16th Shanghai International Film Festival’s Tribute to Masters series introduces yet another blockbuster collection of unique films at this year\'s event.
Restored versions of nine early silent films by famous British master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock will have their Asian debut screening during the festival.
The festival’s Tribute to Masters celebrates the classic works from film history of master directors or actors. In previous years it has featured the much-loved work of Chang Cheh, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Elizabeth Taylor, Krzysztof Kieslowski and other cinema gurus. The series has become a favorite attraction of movie fans.
In 2009, the 赌博app organizing committee included the Hitchcock Film Retrospective within its Tribute to Masters section to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the director\'s birth.
The series of early silent films to be shown this year were shot by Hitchcock in the UK and offer glimpses of the classic suspense style he developed to perfection at the peak of his career.
The nine films include Hitchcock’s first directed work The Pleasure Garden. The others are The Lodger, The Ring, Downhill, The Farmer’s Wife, Easy Virtue, Champagne, The Manxman and Blackmail. All were completed between 1925 to1929 and have been rarely exhibited. The version being screened of Blackmail was the first sound film screened in the UK, having been re-shot by the director to include some snippets of dialogue.
The 赌博app organizing committee has been closely monitoring the British Film Institute’s restoration work on the nine silent films since last year. It decided, with the support of the British Embassy and British Film Institute, to include them in this year\'s festival for their premiere screening in Asia.
The Lodger, Downhill and The Ring are available on DCP with music soundtrack. The remaining titles are on silent DCP only. In addition, Shanghai Film Museum, which will open in June, will co-sponsor a special screening of Blackmail with the British Embassy\'s Cultural and Education Section and the British Film Institute. Contemporary avant-garde electronic music band FM3 will provide musical backing during the screening. The 16th Shanghai International Film Festival will open on June 15 and promises to be another carnival feast for cinema fans. The organizing committee has selected a unique program of unusual and brilliant films and other highlights, including the Golden Goblet Award, Asian New Talent Award, 赌博app Highlights and Gala Screening.
Apart from the Hitchcock silent film series, the Tribute to Masters section will include Leslie Cheung and Tang Xiaodan film retrospectives, tributes to Yasujiro Ozu and Oliver Stone and the Jury President and Jury Panel Film Festival.
Other features on the full program will be Global Village (ADC above the United Kingdom, Canada Film Festival, France Film Festival, Germany Film Festival, Italy Film Festival, Japan Film Week, Thai Film Week, India Film Festival, Brazil Film Festival), Classic Reproduction, Multiple Perspectives, Touching 3D, Panoramic China, Film Talks, MIDA Documentary and Mobile 赌博app.
