Movies Beyond Sound: Seeing 'Cinema Paradiso'

According to the World Health Organization, over 1.5 billion people worldwide live with some degree of hearing loss. In China alone, more than 27.8 million people are deaf or hard of hearing. They may not hear dialogue or feel the rhythm of a soundtrack, but cinema still moves them deeply. This time, "Cinema Paradiso," the iconic work by Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, who also serves as president of the jury for the main competition of the Golden Goblet Awards at the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival, has been reimagined using AI. Through dynamic visuals and thoughtful subtitles, the classic film now speaks to audiences beyond sound. Would you join us in seeing the emotions that can't be heard?
