为纪念费城管弦乐首次访华50周年庆典，上海美国中心将放映纪录片《贝多芬在北京》，并与该纪录片的联合导演、制片人和作家林珍妮面对面交流。1973年，尼克松总统派遣极具代表性的费城交响乐团来到中国，籍此拉开了中美两国民间交往的帷幕。费城交响乐团继往开来，延续了文化大使的角色，进一步推动其在国内的发展。影片将台前幕后的存档图片和音频与当今观察画面相结合，并借用动画生动地描绘了古典音乐在中国的复兴如何为世界音乐注入活力，并为美中历史发展带来生机。 
Join us at the Shanghai American Center for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Philidelphia Orchestra’s first visit to China, a screening of the documentary film Beethoven in Beijing and a conversation with Jennifer Lin, the documentary’s co-director, producer, and writer.  Dispatched by President Nixon in 1973 to help open the “bamboo curtain” separating the Chinese and American people, the iconic Philadelphia Orchestra now turns to its past as a cultural ambassador to strengthen its future at home. Mixing archival images and audio with present-day observational footage, backstage and onstage, and enlivened with animation, the film dramatizes how the revival of classical music in China is energizing the world of music and brings U.S.-China history to life.  

活动语言为英文。

关于嘉宾 About the Speaker

林珍妮是一位获奖记者、作家和纪录片制作人。她制作并联合执导了长篇纪录片《北京的贝多芬》，讲述费城管弦乐团在中国的传承，该纪录片于2021年在PBS精彩表演首映。这部电影入围了2020年美国国会图书馆拉文肯伯恩斯电影奖决赛，并得到了国家人文基金会的支持。2022年天普大学出版社出版了她的口述历史《贝多芬在北京：费城管弦乐团历史性中国之旅的故事》。
Jennifer Lin is an award-winning journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker. She produced and co-directed the feature-length documentary, Beethoven in Beijing, about the Philadelphia Orchestra’s China legacy, which premiered in 2021 on PBS’s Great Performances. The film was a 2020 finalist for the Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns prize for film and received support from the National Endowment for Humanities. In 2022, Temple University Press published her companion oral history, Beethoven in Beijing: Stories from the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Historic Journey to China.

林珍妮在《费城问询者报》做了31年的记者，其中还包括在中国担任驻外记者，在华尔街担任财务通讯员，华盛顿特区记者。2017年，林珍妮出版了一本家庭回忆录《Shanghai Faithful: Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family (Rowman & Littlefield) 》。这本书记录了林家五代人的生活，被电台主持人Connie Chung誉为 “扣人心弦”。

The book, which chronicles five generations of the Lin family, was heralded by broadcaster Connie Chung as “thoroughly gripping.”

作为一名电影制作人，林珍妮目前正在执导和制作一部短片《Ten Times Better》，讲述一位88岁的美籍华裔21点发牌员的故事，他是舞蹈界的先驱。短片描述了李乔治，一位来自上海的青少年移民的生活，他在1954年乔治·巴兰钦的《胡桃夹子》首映中创立了中国角色。后来，他被吉恩·凯利选入了《花鼓歌》。
