On September 26, the Confucius Institute in Edmonton successfully hosted the CIE Movie Night at the Stanley A. Milner Library under the support of Alberta Chinese Outdoor Adventure Club. The event is part of celebration of the 3rd Global Confucius Institute Day.
After a brief greeting from Dr. Wei Li, the director of the CIE, Dr. Mianmian Xie delivered a presentation on Chinese Films, which drew much applause from the audience.
After the presentation, the movie ‘You and Me’ was played that won the 25th Golden Rooster Award for best Director and Actress and the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival for Best Actress. The audience was deeply touched by the emotions and friendship between two ordinary people.
About 240 people attended the event and many of them hope that CIE could continue the movie night in future.
