Completion Shanghai Film Museum

Shanghai has been anticipating the brand new Shanghai Film Museum, and after more than two years of work, the new museum is finally open to the public. The epicenter of film, for which we were responsible for Art Direction and Museum Planning, covers 15,000 sqm and offers a rich selection of interactive environments, hands-on displays and real-time production studios that involve visitors into all aspects of the Shanghai film industry.

Our intention was to create an ‘alive’ space for the dynamic subject of Shanghai film. We brought an extensive collection of historic moving content and objects together in a contemporary and interactive environment that fits the modern city of Shanghai. In a full floor of real-time production studios visitors can see that the Shanghai Film Industry is still flourishing today. Additional functions such as a 4D Cinema and a multifunctional event space make the museum into a lively and vivid environment, where an audience of professionals and non-professional can interact, learn and enjoy.

Film can put a city on a map nationally and globally, and our hope is that the Shanghai Film Museum will do just that. Moreover, we hope to have created a new cultural hotspot in the city, that will grow into a place where those with a heart for film come to exchange knowledge and inspiration.
