bear the responsibility of serving the industry and helping to promote the local
filmmaking level, with its character of authoritative, multi-cultural and
practical.

in every aspect, from film investment, sales and marketing to film distribution.
Other topics, such as how to create a multi-cultural film environment for
co-productions, boost the market with both blockbusters and indies, will also be
included.
Being Practical: the Forum targets to be more helpful to the beginners and
young film talents, with its new training function in Master Class,
International Students’short film exchange, Co-production film forum, Pitch and
Catch and Asian New Talent Award, etc. Judging from the submitted film projects
to the co-production film forum, the quality of the applications is reasonably
higher than that of last year. With over 200 short submissions for the
Students’Exchange, we are positive to see a more fruitful result at this year’s
forum. Students will be given training opportunities by USC film school, which
is closed related with renowned names as George Lucas and Steve Spielburger.
