Venue: Shanghai Film Museum

The re-mastered version of the classic Chinese silent film "The Goddess" will be screened on June 15th as part of the 2014 Shanghai International Film Festival. The Goddess will come alive again at the Shanghai film Museum accompanied with a new music score performed live by a symphonic orchestra.

The Goddess is internationally considered the best silent film of the Golden Era of Chinese Cinema, and stars Ruan Lingyu, the greatest actress of the silent era.

“When you see her films, you forget this is an actress. She makes you believe she is a mistreated prostitute, a loving mother, or a downtrodden factory worker. To me, her beauty is in her performances, through which you feel her pain,”commented the Hong Kong Director Stanley Kwan, who directed the movie Ruan Lingyu.
