SIFF 2010 2010 looks set to be a record-breaking year for the Festival in terms of the number of film entries, exhibitors, screenings, expected visitors to the film forum and the much-anticipated line-up of stars on the red carpet.

Judging Panel presented with latest Timepieces The international judging committee for SIFF 2010 includes John Woo, the renowned Hollywood film director and producer. Six other jury members make up the judging panel and these, together with selected other attending personalities will be presented with watches from the latest Gucci Timepieces collections - the 'G-Frame' and the 'G-Timeless' range.
Gucci Timepieces' Celebrations On June 21st, to mark the end of SIFF 2010, Gucci Timepieces is organising a celebratory post-festival cocktail at the flagship Gucci Golden Eagle boutique in the presence of the Festival Director. The winner of a lucky draw for the SIFF People's Choice Award will be presented with a Gucci Timepieces prize.

We are therefore delighted to be continuing this tradition as a partner at SIFF during what is expected to be an exceptional year. The Shanghai Festival, its related activities and the size of SIFF 2010 itself will provide Gucci Timepieces with extremely high visibility among important local market audiences and is an opportunity for prime exposure at a global and international level."
