The 25th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) has been postponed to next year, the organizing committee of the festival announced on Monday.

"The 25th Shanghai International Film Festival, originally scheduled for June 2022, has been postponed to next year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic," the organizing committee stated.

The statement expressed gratitude and apologies to supporters of the SIFF. The organizing committee said that it would arrange film festivals and themed events in the second half of 2022 if conditions permit.

The SIFF, one of the largest film festivals in East Asia, was first held in 1993. It gives Golden Goblet Awards for best film, best director, best actor/actress, and other categories, as well as a "Special Jury Award."
