Movie buffs can start queuing

MOVIE buffs can book tickets for this year's Shanghai International Film Festival from tomorrow, festival organizers said.


The twelfth festival will start on June 13. Tickets will be on sale at 25 city cinemas and on the designated Website tickets.com.cn.

One month ago the festival jury announced the entries for this year's "Jin Jue" award.

Two mainland productions are among the 16 entries: "Empire of Silver," which debuted at this year's Berlin and Cannes festivals, and "Soul Searching," by Tibetan director Wanma Caidan.

The other 14 entries come from Denmark, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic and Norway. Among them is "The Girl on the Train," the latest film from French director Andre Techine.

During this year's film festival, which runs to June 21, 10 classic movies by Alfred Hitchcock will be aired and six films starring Isabelle Huppert will be screened.

Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle will be the jury president.

The 15th Shanghai Television Festival will take place from June 8 to June 12.
