A series of very informative series
of symposium¡¯s have been presented at
the SIFF this year. Various subjects have been
approached including transitions of Hollywood and
Shanghai as China is fast becoming a Mecca of
opportunities for American film and TV companies.
Such was the material recently
covered in Master Producers with Their Successful
Projects with Hong Kings producer Sze Nansun as the
moderator of the illustrious panel. Several well
known US producers such as Arnold Kopelson having
produced some 29 features considered mass-scale of
which 17 have been nominated for an Oscar including
winning an Oscar, Golden Globe Award and
Independent Spirit Award for Platoon.
Kopelsun stated Chinese films
should be made for a broader International audience
and a well written screenplay is of maximum
importance but the bottom line is the indicator of
success. Furthermore without a bit of action and
more complex plots Western audiences are not tuned
into the common Chinese stories of people and
interpersonal relationships.
With these correct elements
the globalization of Chinese Cinema can take place.
Kopelsun invited Chinese companies to join the
International market but urged the use of the
English language. As well he suggested cooperation
with International companies to attract outside
investments and the integration of international
stars to Chinese Cinema.
A good film does not
require superstars or a high budget, he said.
Another well known producer from England Sandy
Lieberson weighed in on the subject matter to the
audience of up and coming younger generation
filmmakers. Lieberson said he has a high regard for
Chinese features and that Chinese films have very
appealing elements.
He agreed that Chinese filmmakers
need to reach for broader international audiences
in their quest for success. Lieberson a teacher of
film for some ten years suggested the realm of low
budget film as the best format for the budding
directors.
He said that although
theatrical release was extremely difficult other
avenues lay available such as DVD sales and the
internet. Both agreed that what the filmmaker
really requires is Passion above and beyond all
else.
Renowned Japanese actor and
filmmakers appear for Tokyo Film Week Press
Conference at the
SIFF
The Tokyo Film Week press
conference was held at the Shanghai Film Art Center
June 19. Well known actors in attendance Komaki

way.

Local Shanghai
residents are in for a feast of glamor and stars
when the conbined Shanghai TV Festival, and th 9th
Shanghai International Film Festival comes to town
on June 17th. The Film competition portion of the
show is the only Category A international film
festival in China. The Shanghai TV Festival, is the
largest TV festival in Asia, and a first for China.
It has been featured every other year since
1886.
"Accordingly,
the festival will honor two Chinese film artists
who have had a big influence on Chinese movies, and
an exhibition of classic Chinese films and movie
posters will also be
held."
Seven top
filmmakers, including two Chinese, will be invited
as
judges.
During the
festival, around 200 officially selected movies
from home and abroad, including competition films,
will be screened at 17 local cinemas. The Shanghai
Film Art Center will be the main festival
venue.
Besides, an international TV
forum, focusing on China's TV industry, and the
International Radio, Film and TV Exhibition will
highlight the
event.
"The audiences
will have an opportunity to see some excellent
competition works on local channels," said Li
Ruigang, president of the Shanghai Media
Group.
In fact, with
the city opening up further, locals are now able to
see more Hollywood blockbusters at the same time as
the films' global premiere.
Shanghai is
China's largest city - nearly 14 million people -
and is one of three centrally administered cities
in the country, the other two being Peking and
Tianjin. It is also one of China's most important
industrial and cultural centres, being host to the
international Shanghai Television Festival. In
1988, there were more than 40 universities,
colleges and higher educational institutions and
200 scientific research institutes, 46 professional
theatrical companies and film industry. Its
industrial output includes steel, machinery,
shipbuilding, textiles, food processing,
petrochemicals and fertilizers, cameras, radio and
television.
To most
foreigners Shanghai conjures up stories of
adventurous exaggeration, for it was a dynamic,
violent and colorful city. Most of the European
style quarters of the old International Settlement
and the French Concession areas are now part of the
most modern city in the world. The growth of
Shanghai can be credited to Deng Xiaoping and Jiang
Zemin. President Zemin is pictured above with Troy
Cory in 1988 at the Shanghai TV Festival. The Troy
Cory Show, (Joey Lauren Adams) -- was the first
American entertainment group to perform in China --
after the cultural revolution (1966-1976) came to
an absolute end. Troy Cory was recently honored for
his Harbin, China concert performances, by the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Michael
Antonovich, Mayor of the LA County.
