Shanghai's two-month quarantine was lifted June 1, but already public health officials are warning of a rebound in infections in some city districts.
Organizers confirmed Monday what industry figures had long anticipated — that China’s largest and most respected cinema event would not go forward this year due to ongoing omicron outbreaks in the country and Beijing’s strict “COVID zero” policy.
The Shanghai festival is typically held in mid-June, but organizers had remained mum on the event’s fate throughout the city’s recent two-month lockdown. Festival officials put out a brief statement Monday afternoon saying the event was formally postponed until 2023. The decision marks the third year of abnormal operation for China’s longest-running cinema event.
