Norwegian film director Vibeke Løkkeberg made a bold entrance at the Beijing International Film Festival with her new documentary, "The Long Road to the Director's Chair." Originally shot in 1973, this film takes us back to the groundbreaking first International Women's Film Seminar held in Berlin, reviving a pivotal moment in cinematic history. 🎬
In an engaging chat with CGTN reporter Min Rui, Løkkeberg delivered a sharp critique of American films, questioning conventional storytelling and the dominance of established narratives. She also expressed a genuine desire to collaborate more closely with Chinese filmmakers, aiming to blend different creative perspectives and build bridges between diverse film communities. This fresh take on cinema not only honors historic milestones but also sparks exciting new ideas for the future—something that resonates with young cinephiles and budding creators across South and Southeast Asia. 🍿✨
