The year's Belt and Road Film Week will showcase 20 films recommended by the Belt and Road Film Festival Alliance not only in Shanghai, but also in another five cities - Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Hefei.
This is the first time the Shanghai film festival will be holding film exhibition events outside the main host city; allowing fans in the Yangtze River Delta region to share the latest fruits of filmmakers from countries along the Belt and Road and allow the Yangtze River Delta to work towards coordinated cultural development. A total of 1,136 films from countries along the Belt and Road applied for the festival.
This year's festival will continue to implement strict COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, with no more than 75% of tickets for each screening being sold.
The SIFF Market and the TV Market will adopt the OMO mode - a virtual market that expands the space for display, negotiation, and transaction beyond the physical market and realizes the "dual mechanism of a virtual and physical platform" by providing virtual value-added services, according to the organizers. This year, a total of 750 exhibitors will participate in the markets, more than the figure in 2019.
