featured during the live televison broadcast
throughout China. Troy's stage performance, along
with film star, Joey Adams and the Brooke Sisters
were all part of the week long public stage event
held in the original 20,000 seat Shanghai
Stadium.
• • 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

• •
Besides, an international TV

The
First SIFF FESTIVAL - -
1993
/
The 1st Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF)
was held in Shangha from October 7 to October 14,
1993. Shanghai Film Art Center was selected to be
the main venue. Eight cinemas including Grand
Theater were designated to be the auxiliary venues.
• • The
international jury composed of XIE Jin (China),
Oliver Stone (U.S.A.), Nagisa Oshima (Japan), TSUI
Hark (Hong Kong, China), Paul Cox (Australia),
Karen Shakhanazarov (Russia) and Hector Babenco
(Brazil) voted out four "Golden Cup Award" winners
and one Special Jury Award among 19 competitive
entries. 167 films from 33 countries participated
in competition and panorama. 300,000 audience
attended the screenings and jury members'
retrospectives.
• • 16
domestic and foreign companies rented booths in the
International Film Market and the transactions
totaled 27 million RMB. About 200 Chinese and
foreign journalists made reports about the
Festival. The 1st SIFF was so successful that FIAPF
recognized it as one of the nine largest
international film festivals in the world since
then.
• •
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.
