The festival will run from tomorrow to September 10.

The film, which was adapted from a novel by famous writer Wang Anyi, depicts the tragic life and loves of a local woman from the 1940s to the 1980s. It is also the only Mandarin entry in the festival's international competition.

"In addition, a cluster of new films from our group will be publicly screened along with 'Song' in the coming weeks, including 'Lu Xun,' 'Shanghai Story,' and 'The Curse,"' said Xu Mingle, vice president of the film group.

This year marks the centennial celebration of Chinese cinema.

"Shanghai is the cradle of China's film industry," Xu said.

"We're trying to bring those golden days of Shanghai-made films back."
