The Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF, Chinese: 上海国际电影, French: Festival international du film de Shanghai) is the largest film festival in Asia and China's longest-running international cinema event.[1][2] The first festival was established in October 1993. It is the only Chinese festival accredited by the FIAPF.[3]

The festival is held over a ten-day period every June. SIFF is organized by China Film Administration, China Media Group, and the Shanghai government. It awards several "Golden Goblet" Awards (Chinese: 金爵; pinyin: Jīn Jué) for best film, best director, best actor/actress, and other categories, as well as a "Special Jury Award". SIFF Mart consists of the Film Market, China Film Pitch and Catch (CFPC), and Co-production Film Pitch and Catch (Co-FPC). The SIFFORUM is a communication platform.[4]
