Thor Woody Allen Film Festival No Subtitles Organizing Committee Permits Full Refunds - China Film Network

In this year's Shanghai Film Festival, Woody Allen's retrospective exhibition has won the favor of many movie fans and the ticket sales situation is also quite good. However, on June 14, the first screening encountered a tragedy - there were no Chinese subtitles. After the audience found out, they protested to the cinema, but the cinema explained that there were no subtitles originally.

It is understood that every time foreign films are shown during the Shanghai International Film Festival, the original copies are basically played, and the Chinese subtitles are translated by other people. During the screening, a special subtitle operator manually displays the subtitles on the subtitle machine below the big screen. For this Woody Allen film exhibition, a total of 5 films were organized. The copy provider said that these copies already had embedded Chinese subtitles. The organizing committee of the film festival did not verify, and directly sent them to various cinemas, which caused the screening tragedy. After the incident occurred, all the cinemas promised to refund the tickets in full, but many die-hard Woody Allen movie fans said that they could watch without subtitles. The cinema also respected the wishes of the movie fans and continued to finish the screening.
