"Seeing the City Through Movies" is an international film exchange project initiated by the Long Museum. It invites the consulates of various countries to co-sponsor. The project takes the country as the unit, and each unit selects 3-5 films, one per week, and is presented in the Long Museum Theatre. While experiencing the scenery, stories and life of others in the movie, it also evokes the memories of friends who have lived, studied, and travelled here. With the progress of each unit, we will invite guests who have a “relationship” with the city to share and exchange interesting experiences about the city with the audience.
