Panelists include Sid Ganis, former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Peter Li, managing director of China Media Capital, who will discuss the company's recent cooperation with DreamWorks. They will also talk about the Wanda Group's purchase of AMC Entertainment.

The screenings this year feature great diversity. A special session hosted by IMAX will show the 1986 movie Top Gun, starring a 24-year-old Tom Cruise. In a three-day run after Sunday in three theaters, Ang Lee's Life of Pi, Christopher Nolan's Inception and two installments of the Transformers series will also be screened.

Having worked on the restoration of classic Chinese films with the China Film Archive since 2011, the film festival will present two 1949 restored works — Zheng Junli's Crows and Sparrows and Chen Liting's Three Women. By the 2014 festival, there will be 10 restored films ready for screening.

The Shanghai Film Museum, which will serve as a cinema and an exhibition house for the film industry in Shanghai and China, will celebrate its grand opening on Sunday, with a restored screening of Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail in the evening. Other Hitchcock films are featured at this year's festival as part of the retrospective screening section.

The museum will also host a conversation on Monday between renowned film directors Oliver Stone from the US and Johnnie To, from Hong Kong.

The festival market for film trading and the SIFF Project, aimed at spotlighting projects by young filmmakers for financial support, will run from Sunday to Wednesday.
