SHANGHAI - The annual Shanghai International Film Festival scheduled for June will not feature a program on Japanese movies, organizers said Monday, amid the ongoing bilateral diplomatic row over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on a Taiwan contingency.
The Beijing International Film Festival, which was held in April, had similarly forgone an event showing Japanese movies. An organizer expressed regret, saying the program "would have been an opportunity to convey feelings of the two countries' people through movies," and hoped that it will resume next year.
