Where it all began
A six-member jury consisting of film directors, playwrights and actors from six di1 erent countries — chaired by China's prima donna of films, Gong Li — will judge the grand Golden Goblet prize.

Besides celebrating the latest releases such as Grace of Monaco — a biopic about Grace Kelly starring Nicole Kidman — the festival presents some of the greatest achievements in film history. Thanks to the development of 4K digital restoration of films, audiences in Shanghai will see the works of past superstars such as Marlon Brando, Nastassja Kinski and Alain Delon.

Gems from China's film history are on display, too. Love and Duty and The Goddess, both silent films starring Ruan Lingyu, China's first actress to gain national fame, will be presented with live accompaniment by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra during the festival.
