Shanghai Film Festival Bets Big on Asia’s Next Generation

Summary: The Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) is betting big on new talent this year. The big event opened with a movie by a first-time director from Hong Kong, showing their strong support for young filmmakers. Interestingly, the main competition doesn't have any movies from big powerhouses like the U.S., Japan, or South Korea. Instead, it features 100% world premieres from 34 different countries! The festival is also looking toward the future by hosting talks about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change the way movies are made.
