China has struggled to get viewers back into cinemas this week, but the Shanghai Intl. Film Festival has found a way to break through: screen all eight of the “” franchise films in a row, with limited seating due to COVID-19 distancing measures, and watch the public duke it out for the privilege to attend.
The festival will include a conference series known as the Golden Goblet Forum, its International Film and TV Market, and the SIFF project market. It will feature a Belt and Road Film Week, an India Film Week, and special sections focusing on films from Germany, Italy, Japan, and Indonesia. It will also include three films from China: “Back to the Wharf,” directed by Li Xiaofeng; “The Reunions,” by Da Peng, and “Tracing Her Shadow,” a Sino-Japanese co-production from director Pengfei.
A further 14 films will compete in the Asian New Talent competition. Six are from the mainland: director Liang Ming’s “Wisdom Tooth,” which has already done the rounds at the Pingyao and Macao festivals; “Wild Grass” from Xu Zhanxiong; “Model,” by Jing Ran; “Like Father and Son,” by Bai Zhiqiang; “All About Ing,” by Huang Zi; and “A Little Bird Reminds Me,” by Shi Xin.
Master classes will be given by directors Jia Zhangke, Olivier Assayas, Dennis Villeneuve, and Japanese helmers Hirokazu Koreeda and Naomi Kawase, as well as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” screenwriter James Schamus, who is currently involved in Beijing Culture’s in-progress trilogy “Fengshen.”
