As the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival gets underway, the spotlight is fixed on Hong Kong screen icon Tony Leung Chiu-wai, who presides over the Golden Goblet Awards as jury president. Leung’s presence, together with 12 world premieres in the Main Competition, marks SIFF’s distinction as mainland China’s sole FIAPF-recognized A-list festival.

“We have long admired Tony Leung Chiu-wai for both his artistic achievements and his international influence,” says Chen Guo, managing director of the Shanghai International Film & TV Events Center.
