19 October 2018 - The 11th annual European Union Film Festival in China will open at the Poly International Cinema, Tiananmen Square, Beijing. As with past editions, the event is organized by the Delegation of the European Union to China to showcase the creative cinema of all 28 European Union member states. The EU Film Festival stands as one of the most iconic regular international cultural events in China.  

今年，欧盟电影展将展出三十余部佳片，在北京、上海、成都、济南、南京、杭州、深圳七个城市举办两百余场放映，为影迷带来饕餮文化盛宴。

This year, the EU Film Festival in China presents more than 30 movies and 200 total screenings held in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Jinan, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, a veritable feast for filmgoers of all tastes. 

《幸福的拉扎罗》拉开影展序幕

Opening Title: “Happy As Lazzaro”

开幕式上，除了来自业界内外的观众、媒体，更有欧盟多国大使及工作人员出席。作为主办方，他们期待着能在银幕上看到自己国家的佳作，并祝愿中欧文化交流有长足的发展。欧盟电影展作为中欧重要的文化桥梁，自2008年以来，一直致力于让影像无差别地给全世界观众带去感动。 欧盟欧洲委员会教育与文化总司总司长缇米斯•克里斯托菲多女士（Themis Christophidou）出席此次开幕式并讲话。

Attending the opening ceremony are guests representing international and Chinese media, film industry executives and creatives. Welcoming them are ambassadors and high-level diplomats from the European Union, proud to present their country's best new films on screen and promote the continuing long-term exchange of culture between Europe and China. Since 2008, the EU Film Festival in China has served as an important cultural bridge, bringing films across the Eurasian continent to delight new audiences in China. To speak on this, the Festival welcomes Ms. Themis Christophidou, the European Commission Director General for Education and Culture.    

当晚，作为开幕影片，电影《幸福的拉扎罗》以高昂的基调为影展拉开了序幕。这部意大利影片早已引爆国内的社交媒体，收获无数盛赞，被誉为“欧洲近年最好的电影作品之一”。组委会还荣幸邀请到了《幸福的拉扎罗》的主演阿德里亚诺•塔尔迪奥罗（Adriano Tardiolo）和卢卡•奇科瓦尼（Luca Chikovani）来到北京，与热情的观众见面。阿德里亚诺•塔尔迪奥罗（Adriano Tardiolo）凭借“拉扎罗”一角，在中国影迷中获得了超高的人气，被亲切地称为“小天使”。片中扮演拉扎罗好友的卢卡•奇科瓦尼（Luca Chikovani），在社交媒体上有着极高的人气，同时是一名专业的歌手，多才多艺。对于自己的作品在中国放映，他们倍感荣幸。

The evening of the opening ceremony features a screening of the film “Happy As Lazzaro”, starting the film festival on a high note. This new Italian film has already captured the attention of the Chinese entertainment media and film critics, receiving praise as one of the greatest new films from Europe in recent years. The festival organizers have invited the young stars of the film, Adriano Tardiolo and Luca Chikovani, to come to Beijing to meet with the enthusiastic audience. With his debut in “Happy As Lazzaro”, Adriano Tardiolo has rapidly become popular with Chinese fans of international cinema, receiving the nickname “Little Angel” in media reports. His co-star, Luka Chikovani, is no stranger to fame, already popular on social media in Europe as a versatile musician. They are both honoured to present their film in China.       

2018年是“欧盟-中国旅游年”和首个“欧洲文化遗产年”，除了照例选入代表欧盟28个成员国的28部影片之外，今年还增设了“欧洲文化遗产特别单元”。组委会精心挑选6部影片展现欧洲丰富的物质文化遗产，带给观众在新时代如何进行文化遗产保护和传承的思考。

2018 stands out as a banner year, dedicated as the “EU-China Tourism Year” and the “European Year of Cultural Heritage”. In celebration, a special section of several films representing powerful elements of cultural heritage in Europe has been added to supplement the 28 films representing each European Union member state. This special section showcases the rich cultural heritage of Europe, and intends to evoke viewers' thoughts on how cultural heritage may be protected and preserved.  

比往年阵容更加强大，本届欧盟电影展几乎囊括了戛纳电影节和柏林电影节全部重要的欧洲获奖佳作。34部作品中，A类电影节主竞赛的数量就达到了7部。包括获得戛纳最佳导演奖的《冷战》，最佳编剧奖的《幸福的拉扎罗》，最佳男主演的《犬舍惊魂》，获得国际媒体盛赞的《开战》《盛夏》，柏林电影节大热《过境》，以及一代宗师让·吕克•戈达尔的新作《影像之书》。

Surpassing all previous editions, this year’s EU Film Festival in China includes an even greater number of award winners and nominees from the finest film festivals in Europe including the Festival de Cannes and the Berlinale. “Cold War”, which received the Best Director Award at Cannes; “Happy As Lazzaro”, winner of Best Screenplay; “Dogman”, winner of Best Male Lead Actor and the Palm Dog Award for best dog. Cannes Award nominee “Leto” and French media favorite “At War” received much attention this year in Europe, and are set to make an enormous impact in China as well. Berlinale competition film “Transit” also comes to China with high expectations. And of course, there is the new audiovisual treatise on cinema itself by the legendary Jean-Luc Godard:“Le Livre d’image”(The Image Book).

本着展示欧洲电影的历史底蕴和时代精神的原则，本届欧盟电影展在选片上力求均衡。四部影史经典将带领影迷重温欧洲电影的重大贡献：捷克新浪潮的旗手——米洛斯•福尔曼的经典讽刺喜剧《消防员舞会》，爱沙尼亚影史第一的《春》，奥斯卡最佳外语片《巴贝特之宴》以及获得多项奥斯卡提名的《希腊人佐巴》。同时，我们还选入了在戛纳电影节平行单元中表现突出的新人佳作：脑洞大开的《迪亚曼蒂诺》，角度新奇的《无限足球》，动画纪录片《瑞士人克里斯》，亚文化喜剧《重金属囧途》，惊艳戛纳的处女作《一天》 以及两位时尚鬼才的纪录片《亚历山大麦昆-浮生如秀》和《韦斯特伍德：朋克人生》等。

In its mission to present the historical and artistic legacy of European cinema as well as the modern zeitgeist, the EU Film Festival in China strives for a balance in the selection of films. Four classics of world cinema are included as a reminder of the high standards set by past masters. The satirical comedy at the vanguard of the Czech new wave - Milos Forman’s “The Firemen’s Ball”; the pivotal chronicle of Estonian history - “Kevade”(Spring);  Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Winner - “Babette’s Feast”; and timeless ode to the joy of life - “Zorba The Greek”. From these cinema classics, the lineup leaps to startling newcomers chosen from special competition section favorites at the Festival de Cannes: the weird and wonderful football odyssey - “Diamantino”;  another novel approach to football from Romania -“Infinite Football”; the semi-animated documentary - “Chris The Swiss”, which strikes with the blunt cruelty of war; and the raucous comedy - “Heavy Trip”, which evokes the humor found in the darkest metal music. Other outstanding films not to miss include the critically acclaimed first feature “One Day”, and a duo of documentaries on two of the world's most creative fashion designers, “Westwood” and “McQueen”.
