As an international Class A film festival, the Shanghai International Film Festival is based in Shanghai, going to Asia, and even to the world.

From the cradle of Chinese film to today's film city, Shanghai's open, innovative and inclusive urban character has been integrated into the DNA of the Shanghai International Film Festival since its inception. Today, the Shanghai International Film Festival once again uses movies as a bridge in this movie city to break national boundaries and connect China and the world. At the same time, it invites moviegoers to "break the screen and enter the picture" with the help of technological power such as AR, VR, and artificial intelligence (AI).

This year’s Shanghai International Film Festival received more than 3,700 film registrations from 105 countries and regions on five continents. Among the films shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award, 38 had world premieres and 6 had Asia premieres. The increase in the premiere rate year after year is a clear proof of the surge of "first" effect in Shanghai.

In recent years, AR, VR, and artificial intelligence have become topics of special concern to the film industry. This year's Shanghai International Film Festival continues to launch a science fiction film week, bringing together domestic and foreign science fiction filmmakers, science fiction writers, scientists and other science fiction dream makers to explore the two-way empowerment of artificial intelligence and movies.

Film Festival, about movies, is more of a "festival". In this feast of light and shadow, movie fans and filmmakers at home and abroad come to Shanghai to follow the path of light and shadow together and immerse themselves in the beauty of the movie and the city!
