Hong Kong film maker Wong Kar-wai will chair the jury panel of the
11th Shanghai International Film Festival from June 14 to 22, festival
organizing committee officials said on Thursday. Wong's latest film, a remake of his 1994 classic "Ashes of Time",
will have a special screening at the festival. All proceeds will go to
earthquake-stricken regions of Sichuan Province.
On the opening day, the festival's red carpet event will allow
celebrities from home and abroad to leave their signatures and best
wishes for the earthquake victims. Actress Zhang Ziyi and award-winning mainland director Yin Li will attend the festival and lecture at its film forums.
