AcademyAwards

Overview

The Academy Award, formally known as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award, was established in 1927 and held once a year in Los Angeles, USA. It has enjoyed a high reputation for more than half a century. It not only reflects the development process and achievements of American film art, but also has a noticeable influence on the film art of many countries in the world.

in may, 1927, American film celebrities initiated a "non-profit organization" in Hollywood, which was named The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences（AMPAS） (abbreviated as A.M.P.A.S). Its purpose was to promote the progress of film art and technology. The Academy decided to commend outstanding filmmakers for their remarkable achievements and established the AcademyAward. After 1931, the Academy Award was gradually replaced by its popular name "Academy Award", and its official name was little known.

Selection

Oscar is just a local film award in the United States, which means the same thing as China's "Hua Biao Award". It is just a local film award, but judging from his absence of the "Best Foreign Language Film Award", it is not international, and the definition of a film festival is a grand gathering of film art and technological achievements exhibitions from all over the world. Its main purpose is to exchange experiences, learn from each other and promote the development of film industry in various countries. Select the films that are officially exhibited, and award prizes or certificates to outstanding films and their authors (including directors, screenwriters, actors, photographers, composers, editors, costumes, artists, special effects, etc.). There are also international film festivals that only participate in exhibitions and do not award prizes. The film festival can be said to be a film exhibition, and the Oscar is only an award, and there is no exhibition nature. To sum up, the Oscar is not a film festival, and it is not an international film festival. The three most famous international film festivals in the world are Berlin, Cannes and Venice.

The Oscar has now set the Best Foreign Language Film Award. In 2111, the 83rd Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Award was Danish Better World.

Berlin International Film Festival

Berlin International Film Festival, formerly known as West Berlin International Film Festival, is one of the first-class international film festivals in Europe. In the early 1951s, it was planned by alfred Bauer, with the support and help of the then Federal German government and the film industry, and the first session was held in West Berlin from the end of June to the beginning of July, 1951.

major awards

the major awards are "golden bear award" and "silver bear award". The Golden Bear Award is awarded to the best feature film, documentary film, science and education film and art film; The Silver Bear Award is awarded to the best director, actor and actress, screenwriter, music, photography, art design, youth works or feature films with special achievements. In addition, there are international criticism awards and special awards of the jury. In the 1981s, 31 ~ 41 countries and regions participated in and screened 211 ~ 311 films every year. The film festival is held once a year. Since 1978, in order to compete with the Cannes International Film Festival in France, it was held from the end of February to the beginning of March for two weeks.

Importance

Berlin International Film Festival was founded in 1951 in the United States or, in a broader sense, at the initiative of three western allies. In the following ten years, the film festival has established an important position in Berlin's cultural life. Ingmar bergman, satyajit ray, michelangelo antonioni, roman polanski and French "New Wave" directors Jean-Luc Ge Daer, Fran? ois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol all achieved great international success at the Berlin Film Festival with their films.

since the mid-1961s, there has been an obvious period of stagnation. In 1971, the New Film International Forum was founded outside the traditional film competition. In 1974, the first Soviet film appeared at the film festival, and a year later, East German films also joined in. The political climate changed, and West Germany and East Germany signed a treaty. Since then, Berlin Film Festival has repositioned itself as a mirror of international film production, making the film festival play a more important cultural and political role in the convergence and mediation between East and West.

Today, Berlin International Film Festival has become the most important international film festival together with Cannes and Venice. Its significance lies not only in attracting a large audience, but also in attracting many filmmakers. Nearly 3,111 journalists from newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio stations and TV stations in more than 61 countries flocked, and the open film screening alone attracted more than 351,111 guests every year.

The most important part of the Berlin Film Festival is the competition unit with worldwide films participating. At the end of the competition, the international jury will award the main awards of the film festival.

Berlin Film Festival "discovered" a large number of film directors, and now their status has been written into the film history. Winners of Berlin International Film Festival include rainer werner fassbinder, michelangelo antonioni, Jean-Luc Ge Daer, ingmar bergman, sidney lumet, Claude Chabrol, roman polanski, satyajit ray, carlos saura, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Robert Altman, John Kasawitz and many others.

In 2114, the Chinese film Fireworks in the White won the Golden Bear Award, and the leading actor Liao Fan won the Silver Bear.

Venice International Film Festival

Venice International Film Festival, founded in 1932, is the first international film festival in the world, so it is called "the father of international film festivals". Founded in Venice, a famous city in Italy, on August 6th, 1932. The main purpose is to improve the level of film art. After the second session was held in 1934, it was held once a year from the end of August to the beginning of September for two weeks. From 1943 to 1945, it was closed for a time due to World War II. After the war, it resumed in 1946. From 1932 to 1942, the awards were divided into the best feature film, documentary film, short film, Italian film and foreign film, as well as the best director, screenwriter, actor and actress, photography and music. In addition, there are special prizes, comprehensive prizes, "Mussolini Cup" and "Biennial Cup". From 1946 to 1948, Mussolini Cup was cancelled. In 1949, the Golden Lion Award, Silver Lion Award and Bronze Lion Award were added.

Venice Film Festival has gradually formed its own unique tradition: it focuses on film experimenters from all over the world and encourages them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some defects, as long as they are innovative, they will be accepted by the film festival. The purpose of the film festival is "movies serve serious art", and different slogans are put forward every year, and the judging standard is pure: artistry. In the sixties and seventies, Venice Film Festival discovered a large number of emerging European filmmakers. Although the film it chooses may not be the director's best work, it is always leading the development trend of European art films.

Cannes International Film Festival

Overview

Cannes International Film Festival (English: Cannes International Film Festival, French: FestivalDeCannes), also translated as Cannes International Film Festival, was founded in 1939. It is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today, and it is called the three major international film festivals in Europe together with Venice International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival, with the highest level. Cannes Film Festival in France is called 3S Film Festival because its venue has three characteristics: Sea, beauty and Sun. At present, the Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to be held every year in mid-May, lasting about 12 days. It usually opens on Wednesday and ends every other Sunday. In the meantime, besides the film competition, the market exhibition was also held at the same time. The film festival is divided into six units: Official Competition, Biweekly Directors, A Kind of Gaze, Film Critics Week, New Face of French Film and Side Market Exhibition.

"Cannes Film Festival is a vacuum zone that doesn't care about politics, and it is a microcosm that is condensed as if people can directly contact and speak the same language."

Jean Cocteau

In 1939, JeanZay, Minister of Education and Arts of France, proposed to create an international film festival in France. Cannes was chosen as the venue for its "sunshine and beautiful scenery".

the first Cannes International Film Festival

The first Cannes International Film Festival was chaired by LouisLumière, but it was delayed by World War II. In 1945, AFAA was once again asked to organize a film festival with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education. Since 1946, the newly created French National Film Center has also jointly supported it.

On September 21th, 1946, as the first important international cultural event after the war, Cannes International Film Festival was held in the old casino in Cannes. At that time, Cannes International Film Festival was a non-profit organization with a board of directors; And became a charity in 1972. Except in 1948 and 1951-the Cannes Film Festival was cancelled due to lack of funds-the Cannes Film Festival was held for two weeks every year; It was held in September before 1951, and later it became May. In 1968, the Cannes Film Festival was interrupted due to political unrest.

At the beginning, Cannes Film Festival was mainly a tourism and social event, more like a film forum than an event. Almost all participating films can win awards. After many years, with the rapid increase of participants and new economic backing, Cannes Film Festival has changed its original orientation and gradually evolved into the most media-concerned annual event in the film industry. Today, more than 4,111 journalists from about 1,611 media attend the Cannes Film Festival every year.

Film Market

The establishment of "Film Market" in p>1959 added to the influence of Cannes International Film Festival. It not only provides a commercial platform, but also facilitates the meeting and discussion between buyers and sellers in the film industry. In its 45 years of continuous development, Cannes Film Studio has become the main market of the global film industry. Similarly, the VillageInternational, which was founded in 2111 around the Film Palace, has enabled more and more countries to promote their own culture and films and provide support for their producers and film industry.

In parallel with the formal nomination, the International Film Criticism Week was founded in 1962 and the Biweekly Directors Week was founded in 1969. Both events have their own competition units. In 1978, GillesJacob, then the general representative of the film festival, founded the "Camérad'or" to reward the best films in the three competitions.

At the beginning of Cannes International Film Festival, countries selected their own films to participate. In 1972, MauriceBessy, the general representative, FavreleBret, the chairman of the film festival, and the board of directors resolutely decided that Cannes Film Festival would be the only decision-maker for the nomination of participating films from now on, and nominated participating films on a global scale. This decision marked a turning point and was soon followed by other film festivals.

film cornerstone

In p>1998, GillesJacob founded Cinéfondation to nominate short films and Chinese films for global film schools, with the aim of discovering and promoting new film talents. Since then, more than 2,111 films from various countries and regions have been sent to film festivals for nomination.

Following the idea of film cornerstone, the official residence of Cannes Film Festival opened in Paris in the autumn of 2111 also provided young filmmakers with opportunities to develop their own shooting plans abroad and encouraged them to promote them internationally.

in p>2111, GillesJacob, who has been the general representative of Cannes Film Festival since 1978, was elected as the chairman of the board of directors after PierreViot. PierreViot served as the chairman from 1985 to 2111, and in 2111, he became the president of the film cornerstone. Since 2111, GillesJacob has been assisted by VéroniqueCayla, general manager of Cannes Film Festival, and ThierryFrémaux, artistic director.

They strengthened the position of Cannes Film Festival as an annual international film forum. All film styles, schools and types are in their proper places. Whether through film screening or through many cultural and artistic activities that enrich the film festival: seminars, commendation meetings, ambassador lecture halls, concerts, exhibitions, etc., its eternal goal is to serve the growth of film art.

Summary

Cannes Film Festival is not only an ideal place for film industry practitioners to get together, but also pays great attention to the talents of artists who promote film development. After several years, Cannes Film Festival is famous for its balance between the artistic level and commercial influence. It not only ensures a unique international platform for the displayed films, but also reveals and reflects the development and trend of world films while maintaining the concept of "providing film products for a wide audience".
