Currently in its 20th year, the star-studded festival kicked off in style with the screening of Danish Academy Award-winning film and television director Bille August’s latest film The Chinese Widow starring Emile Hirsch and Crystal Liu, while Chinese director Zheng Chang’s crime action film Detonator will close the event. This year, the high-performance and dependable Christie CP2230 DLP digital cinema projector has been deployed to screen both films at this prestigious event, attended by numerous international and regional celebrities.

Lin Yu, Vice President, Christie Asia Pacific, added, “Christie’s digital cinema projection technologies have lit the screens of numerous film festivals around the world, and we are well-regarded as a trusted partner. Besides the SIFF, we are proud to be associated with major film festivals like Cannes and Toronto International Film Festival by allowing audiences to relish the unsurpassed digital projection technology that Christie provides, and which brings the creative visions of filmmakers to life on the screen.”

In conjunction with SIFF, Christie is participating in the CinemaS Shanghai International Film Forum and Exhibition, which takes place at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing from June 22-24, 2017.

During this event, visitors can check out the comprehensive range of Christie cinema projection and audio solutions, including a live demonstration of the new Christie CP2308 digital cinema projector featuring a completely new electronics platform and intuitive touchscreen user interface. Ideal for screens up to 35 feet, the Xenon-illuminated CP2308 produces up to 9000 lumens, and displays realistic colors for an immersive cinematic experience. Also on show are static displays of the Christie CP2208, CP2215 and CP2230 cinema projectors, as well as the cutting-edge Christie Vive Audio™ cinema audio solution, which utilizes ribbon driver speakers and Class D amplifiers.

A star-studded lineup of local and international movie celebrities is expected to attend this year’s SIFF red carpet ceremonies, including directors Bille August, Feng Xiaogang and Ann Hui, Julie Delpy, Jean Reno, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Milla Jovovich, Isabelle Huppert and Jackie Chan.
