The 28th Shanghai International Film Festival has unveiled the complete jury rosters for its Golden Goblet Awards across five competitive categories. The festival runs June 12–21, 2026.
Singaporean filmmaker Anthony Chen, whose debut feature “Ilo Ilo” took the Camera d’Or at Cannes in 2013, will preside over the Asian New Talent jury. He is joined on the panel by Indonesian director and screenwriter Kamila Andini, whose drama “Yuni” won the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2021; Chinese director and screenwriter Liu Jiayin, known for “Oxhide” (2005) and “Oxhide II” (2009); Kazakh director and screenwriter Farkhat Sharipov, Berlin winner for “Skhema”; and Taiwanese actor Wen Qi, Golden Horse winner for “The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful.”
The main competition jury, chaired by Hong Kong screen legend Tony Leung Chiu-wai, includes six members drawn from across the globe. Chinese director Guan Hu, whose “Black Dog” (2024) won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes, sits alongside Tunisian producer Dora Bouchoucha, a central figure in North African cinema who has championed emerging filmmakers across the Arab world for decades. Georgian writer-director Déa Kulumbegashvili, whose debut feature “Beginning” swept four prizes at San Sebastián in 2020 and whose follow-up “April” premiered in competition at Venice in 2024, joins Mexican filmmaker Fernanda Valadez, whose border drama “Identifying Features” won the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance 2020, and whose second feature “Sujo” also debuted at Sundance in 2024.
