Munich. From June 12 to 17, 2017, the Confucius
Institute Munich in cooperation with Munich’s city library will host
the 5th Chinese Film Festival in the city of Munich. For
the duration of the film festival, BMW will provide the vehicles for
its shuttle service. As partner of the festival, BMW Group once again
emphasises its commitment to cultural and intercultural exchange.
Following the world premiere of the new BMW Art Car designed by
Chinese artist Cao Fei, BMW will thus continue its long-term
commitment to contemporary Chinese culture.
Confucius Institute Munich
In celebration of the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic
relations between Germany and China, the festival will form part of
the cultural programme “China Today”. This year marks the fifth
edition of the film festival organised by the institute for Chinese
language and culture, Confucius Institute Munich. Since its founding
in Munich in 2009, the institute has supported the promotion of
Chinese culture and language in Southern Germany and as such provided
a platform for intercultural dialogue.
5th Chinese Film Festival
Screenings will take place at Gasteig Munich, the film club of the
Technical University of Munich and in the city of Dietfurt an der
Altmühl, where audiences will be offered a total of 16 Chinese movies
of various genres including the most successful movies of the previous
year. While the literary adaptations of China’s currently most hotly
debated author Liu Zhenyun will take centre stage, silent movies,
documentaries and dramas will illustrate the broad range of Chinese
film. In addition, a varied programme of events including panel
discussions, expert talks and multiple exhibitions will complement the screenings.
