SUMMARY:MSPIFF44 Film Screening: Ai Weiwei's Turnadot
DESCRIPTION:The Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) returns April 2-13 to The Main Cinema and other venues around the Twin Cities\, including Landmark Center. As the largest annual celebration of international cinema in the region\, MSPIFF44 promises another exciting lineup of 200+ films from around the world\, plus an exciting array of parties\, panels\, visiting filmmakers\, and special guests. \nRenowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei turns his attention to directing Puccini’s opera Turandot at the Rome Opera\, with his friend\, choreographer Chiang Ching. They begin work\, only to be thwarted by the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, which affected artists in the production. What finally emerges is a Turandot as beautiful as it is political. By his own admission\, Weiwei knew very little about opera\, except that he had once been an extra almost 40 years ago in a Metropolitan Opera production of Turandot. Now\, Weiwei takes Puccini’s tale of a Chinese prince who wants to win the hand of princess Turandot at the risk of his own life\, and infuses it with current political commentary as only Weiwei can do. Ai Weiwei’s Turandot will go down as among the best\, and most unique\, films on the power of art.

SUMMARY:MSPIFF44 Film Screening: The New Year That Never Came
DESCRIPTION:The Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) returns April 2-13 to The Main Cinema and other venues around the Twin Cities\, including Landmark Center. As the largest annual celebration of international cinema in the region\, MSPIFF44 promises another exciting lineup of 200+ films from around the world\, plus an exciting array of parties\, panels\, visiting filmmakers\, and special guests. \nA slyly funny\, thrillingly confident work full of wit\, irony and empathy\, this robust ensemble piece unfolds over two days in late December 1989 in a Bucharest sapped of seasonal spirit\, as white-hot\, sidewalk-level fury at the Nicolae Ceausescu regime cuts through the December cold. Even as TV bureaucrats put the final touches on New Year’s shows that glorify the president\, the streets are alive with demonstrations and students mock the regime through art. Meanwhile\, behind closed doors\, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent Secret Police. Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach a boiling point\, an explosive moment brings them together\, culminating in the dramatic fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime.
