The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society (HKIFF Society) and CAA China are launching a joint initiative to foster Chinese-language genre projects.
Entitled HCG-CAA China Genre Initiative, the programme will showcase five shortlisted genre projects to an industry-wide audience during next year’s Filmart and Hong Kong – Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), which is scheduled for March 11-13.
As part of the programme CAA China will provide a cash award of US$20,000 each to two handpicked projects to support their development, along with customised guidance from mentors.
CAA China may board the winning projects later by entering into script development agreements. Submission for HGC will open from 4 September to 31 October 2023 through HKIFF Industry’s official website.
