NORWAY donated a restored Chinese silent film from the 1920s to China’s national film archive on Tuesday.
Two representatives of the National Library of Norway presented the film to the China Film Archive.
The library said it found a damaged print of the 1927 Shanghai Film Company production “The Cave of the Spider Spirit” in its archives in 1999 during an attempt to identify around 9,000 boxed reels.
The film, based on the Chinese classical folktale “Journey to the West,” was restored and a copy made. The library said it premiered in Oslo in 1929. It is unclear how it ended up in Norway.
