"Malmkrog" (2020) is a period drama directed by Cristi Puiu, based on a text by Vladimir Solovyov "Trois entretiens," awarded at the Berlin International Film Festival for Best Director in the Encounters section. The cast includes Frédéric Schulz-Richard, Agathe Bosch, Diana Sakalauskaitė, Marina Palii, Ugo Broussot, and István Téglás. The action takes place at the end of December, at the Apafi family mansion, where a few aristocrats have gathered to spend Christmas together. Divided into six chapters, each named after the protagonists, the film presents a series of conversations about war, peace, morality, death, and the Antichrist, all carried out in French, as was customary in the aristocracy at that time.
The Francophone cinema festival will offer the Chinese audience twenty excellent films over two weeks, projected at the Institut Français de Beijing, the Chinese Cinematheque, and in numerous cinemas throughout China. For this new 2024 edition, the French language is valued as a bond between different cultures, but also as the preferred language of interpretation for artists. This selection will allow the audience to discover the great diversity of cinematographic art from the Francophone world.
The event is organized in collaboration with the Institut Français de Beijing and the French Embassy in the People's Republic of China.
We look forward to welcoming you!
