In Shanghai, the birthplace of Chinese movies, you will encounter better times and a more beautiful life. When I was young, I fell in love with Shanghai because of movies; later, I fell in love with movies even more because of Shanghai. ——Geng Naiding (film planner, 23 years old)

I recommend the movie "Suolin Bag". This play can be said to be the culmination of the Cheng School of Peking Opera art and its singing. It is a pity that the government invested in filming a movie for Cheng Pai Art. Due to various historical reasons, the play was also a movie that Mr. Cheng Yanqiu wanted to make but could not. —— Zhang Zhen (Member of Shanghai Critics Association, 58 years old)

"Daughter Wang Lianxiang" is Lubitsch's masterpiece a century ago, with live jazz accompaniment. Should we put red wine in a thermos and sneak it into the theater to watch and drink at the same time? ——Liu Chun (scholar, 41 years old) There are definitely good movies in the

International Film Festival. I have watched them every year in recent years. This year I bought "Onmyoji 0", " Age of Innocence " and " The Pianist ". ——Zhou An (retired employee, 79 years old)

People who love movies can see movies here that they can’t usually see, and foreign filmmakers can have a deeper understanding of China. —— Zhou Xun (actor, judge of the main competition unit of the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival)

No Shanghainese is complete who has not watched "Anyway". ——Xu Xiaojuan (sound recorder, director of the film viewing group "Film Volume", 30+ years old)

The existence of the film festival is like a spotlight, because there are many young directors around the world. Where are they? What did they film? They need a spotlight to put the stage and cast that beam of light on young people. ——Jia Zhangke (Director, Chairman of the Jury of the Asian Newcomer Section of the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival in 2005)

Although it took a 35-hour flight, I think it is great to be here at the Shanghai International Film Festival. I can go see the films being screened, communicate with filmmakers, and find new connections. ——Hilda Santiago (Curatorial Director of Rio Film Festival, Brazil)

I have participated in the Shanghai International Film Festival 26 times; movies have been with me throughout my life. ——Li Changnian (the first audience member to receive a ticket at this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, 89 years old)
