Movie buffs will soon be able to celebrate with a visual feast at the Beijing International Film Festival, where nearly 500 high quality films will be shown.

电影迷们很快就能在北京国际电影节上庆祝一场视觉盛宴了，该电影节上还将放映近500部高质量电影。

The movies were selected from more than 2,000 titles from 100 countries and will be screened in 30 cinemas and colleges around Beijing from April 8 to April 23, Zhang Xiaoguang, deputy head of China Film Archive, said last Thursday.

上周四，中国电影资料馆副馆长张晓光表示，这些电影从来自100个国家的2000多部候选影片中脱颖而出，将于4月8日到23日期间在北京30多个电影院和大学放映。

As this year marks the 10th anniversary of the iconic Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni’s death, up to 13 of his classics - from his debut¹ feature Story of a Love Affair to the 1995 romance Beyond the Clouds - will be screened as an homage² to the master.

由于今年是意大利标志性导演米开朗基罗·安东尼奥尼逝世10周年，为向大师致敬，将放映他的13部经典作品--从他的出道作品《某种爱的记录》到1995年的爱情片《云上的日子》。

Such highlighted talents also include cult³ director David Lynch of the United States and the versatile⁴ Taiwan filmmaker Sylvia Chang, whose representative works are on the recommended lineup.

此类知名大家还包括美国大热导演大卫·林奇以及台湾鬼才电影制片人张艾嘉，他们的作品也在推荐放映列表里。

The list also has some movies that earned awards at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival in February, such as the best movie winner On Body and Soul and best director winner The Other Side of Hope, by Aki Kaurismaki of Finland.

列表里一些电影还在2月份的第67届柏林国际电影节上获得了奖项，例如最佳影片奖得主《身体和灵魂》和最佳导演奖得主《希望的另一面》（芬兰阿基·考里斯马基作品）。

A retrospective section will include movies produced by the Shanghai studio Wenhua, a company founded in 1946 that ushered⁵ a new era of Chinese art-house films, Zhang said, giving viewers "a glimpse of Chinese cinematic culture and history".

据张晓光表示，怀旧部分将包括出自上海文华电影制作工作室的电影，该公司成立于1946年、引领了中国文艺电影的新时代，将会让观众“一睹中国的电影文化和历史”。
