The Shanghai film festival is a sad sad joke. It's the most pathetically disorganized event I've experienced anywhere.

SIFF will also run a Luc Besson movie show coz he will head the jury panel this year. I do want to experience his Atlantis, Jeanne d'Arc, Grand Bleu..on the big creen and I don't mind watch it again even I own the DVD already.

didn't they have the Encino Man himself, Brandon Fraser as the guest of honor last year? Doesn't get much more world class than that.

I went to the SIFF last year and I must say I quite appreciated it. It allowed me to finally see several movies from back home (French-Canadian) that I can never find in any DVD shops. It also plays a lot of other International movies that you won't find on DVD just everywhere. I hope this year will allow me the same. I don't know which cinema you guys did go to but I saw quite a few movies and for each of them I never had to line up. Some cinemas were even quite empty. I guess It depends on the popularity of the movie you're going to see.
