[Quick News] June 5: The Race for SIFF 2026 Tickets Begins

Get ready, cinephiles! Tickets for the 2026 Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) go on sale from June 5.

This year's festival runs from June 12-21, with screenings extending through June 28. A "special encore program" will showcase Golden Goblet Award winners and fan favorites during the week after the festival's official close.

Tickets will be available both online and offline:

Online sales start at 12pm on June 5 via the official Damai app. You can also grab tickets on the Taopiaopiao app or through the Taopiaopiao mini program on Alipay, Taobao, and WeChat. Moviegoers outside Shanghai can still join the fun – just set your location to Shanghai on Damai or Taopiaopiao.

Offline ticket sales will begin at 2pm on June 5 at participating cinemas across the city.

For the full lineup and screening schedule, visit the festival's official website.

Don't miss your chance to be part of Shanghai's biggest cinematic celebration of the year!

Screening schedules and ticketing information for the extended screening program will be announced at a later date.

All screenings at this year's festival require a valid physical ticket for admission.

Audiences must collect them at the cinema where the selected film is being screened, using dedicated SIFF ticket machines.

The 28th SIFF will feature over 420 films from around the world in over 1,500 screenings grouped into a variety of themed sections.

The main competition sections of the Golden Goblet Awards will feature 41 world premieres across its five categories, representing 83.67 percent of all competing films, an increase of 6.12 percentage points from 2025.

The highlights include retrospective shows honoring filmmaker Billy Wilder and screen icon Marilyn Monroe, as well as a special retrospective celebrating British director Ken Loach's 90th birthday.

The "Special Tribute" segment will feature representative works from veteran Chinese filmmakers Sang Hu, Huang Zuolin, and Shen Yaoting.

The festival will also highlight advances in film technology, with classic science-fiction works by Steven Spielberg, the sci-fi animation trilogy of French animation pioneer René Laloux, acclaimed new science-fiction films, and a selection of works that incorporate artificial intelligence into the filmmaking process.

A total of 52 cinemas will join the festival, including 47 venues in Shanghai and five cinemas across five cities in the Yangtze River Delta region.
