ShPFF | Registration is full. Don't miss the screenings!

The 2019 ShanghaiPRIDE Film Festival (ShPFF) will run from June 8 to 16. The festival has evolved from an LGBTQ film screening night to a full-blown festival that supports emerging Chinese filmmakers while bringing cutting-edge international LGBTQ cinema to Shanghai.

We are bringing back the LGBTQ film marathon this summer by screening over 60 strong and inspiring LGBTQ films from more than 20 countries in the span of 9 days!

ShPFF 2019 Chinese Short Film Awards received over 50 submissions, 33 made it into the finals. The nominees are in the run for five awards: Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Sound & Music. The winners and nominees will be screened during the festival. The directors of the nominees will be at the film screening to meet and greet the audience. 

A Dog Barking at the Moon

Carmen & Lola

This year, we have selected the Berlin International Film Festival Teddy Jury Award Winner, A Dog Barking at the Moon, as the opening film.

Among the films, the highlights include romance between two women, Carmen & Lola, a Cannes Film Festival Queer Palm Nominee; Voice for China LGBT, a documentary of the LGBTQ community in China; Jose, the Venice Film Festival Queer Lion Award Winner which focused on the gay community of the lower-class; The Fruit Machine, the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival Audience Award winner; A Woman is A Woman, the closing film of Amsterdam TranScreen Film Festival; and This Perfect Day, which just had its world premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.

Short films, Crashing Waves, I, Carlito Leaves Forever and A Normal Girl, which are from #FiveFilms4Freedom will be screened at ShPFF this year.

Besides film screenings, ShPFF has invited directors and filmmakers to join us for discussions, too. We have also added a discussion, Translating Anglophone Queer Cinema into Chinese: Imagination, Identification and Representation in the line-up. In addition to that, members of QAFOne and Jihua will collaborate with us on a workshop.

I

October Boy

On June 16, as one of our top highlights, the Nordic Day will present films from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A discussion is arranged to learn and share about the Nordic LGBTQ community in Shanghai. 

The closing film of ShPFF 2019, Shanghai Queer, will have its premiere in Mainland China. The film shows the progress and development of the Shanghai LGBTQ community for the past 15 years. The documentary filmmakers will be at the screening to discuss the film with the audience.
