The 16th Shanghai International Film Festival came to close last night.

The star encrusted red carpet featured Jessica Chastain, Karen Mok, Keanu Reeves, Jackie Chan and Vincent Fang, just to name a few.

Russian film The Major was named Best Feature Film at this year's Golden Goblets.

The Yury Bykov film also took home the gongs for Best Director and Outstanding Artistic Achievement.

The Major tells the story of a police officer caught in a traffic accidents which forces him into a series of delimmas.

This year's jury president Tom Hooper said that the decision came naturally.

"When we began to watch the competition selection over the last week, we were finding it hard to see a film worthy of the prize of Best Feature Film. Then we watched The Major and everything changed. What's fascinating is that when the film is great, everyone knows it and all the jury agreed. This is only Yury Bykov's second film and his first feature film. Truly, he is a talent to watch."

10 year old Crystal Lee, the star of Dante Lam picture "Unbeatable", became the youngest who's named Best Actress at this year's festival.

Hong Kong's Nick Cheung, who stars opposite Lee in the "Unbeatable", was named Best Actor.

This year's festival, which began June 15, received submissions for screening from 1,655 filmmakers from 112 countries, the highest volume since the festival started a decade ago.
