Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) is China’s A-category international film festival and one of the largest in Asia. As Shanghai’s film industry has grown to be world-renowned, Canada has been proud to be an active part of the Festival over the past years. Each year, Canada presents an electric mix of films that represents not only the creativity of Canadian filmmakers but also the innovation of Canadian cinema.

On June 8, Telefilm Canada announced that 12 Canadian films will be screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival from June 13 to 21, 2015 with a Canadian delegation attending. For the past six years, the Festival has honoured our talents by presenting films in a section especially reserved for Canada. This year, 10 films make up The Best of Canada section, while two others are found in the MIDA Documentary and Spectrum sections; all three are non-competitive.

The Canadian delegation will be made up of Jeffrey St. Jules, director (Bang Bang Baby), Murray Foster, director (The Cocksure Lads Movie), Jeannette Garcia, associate producer (The Master of Suspense) as well as Felipe Rodriguez, director, and Julia Blua, coproducer and editor who will present the world premiere of their film Kidnap Capital.
