Shanghai International Film Festival The 28th Shanghai International Film Festival launched Saturday at the city’s Grand Theatre, drawing a constellation of Chinese-language stars to its opening red carpet and centering its ceremony on cinema’s human core rather than the geopolitical flash that has marked other festivals this year.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai, who serves as jury president of the Golden Goblet competition, appeared on the red carpet alongside his wife Carina Lau and fellow jurors Dora Bouchoucha, Guan Hu, Aktan Arym Kubat, Déa Kulumbegashvili, Fernanda Valadez, and Xin Zhilei.
