The 23th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) was held between July 25th and August 2nd, 2020. It was the first major international film festival held in China since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the first FIAPF accredited competitive feature film festival in the world that was held in a hybrid online-and-offline format. Following the requirements of regular epidemic prevention and control, this year's SIFF managed to announce the official selections for the Golden Goblet Awards and Asian New Talent Awards, and launched the International Film and TV Online Market. Film screenings took place in theaters, outdoor, and online simultaneously. SIFFORUM and SIFF PROJECT were organized in a format that combined both physical events and virtual conferences. SIFF successfully taking place not only highlighted China's achievement in epidemic control to the world, but also sent out strong signals that encourage the industry to overcome current difficulties and restart. It enriched the cultural life for the citizens and contributed to promoting"Shanghai Culture" as a brand.
