ASIAN FILM PRODUCERS FORUM Venue Stage, Hall 1, Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre


Session one: 2:00pm-3:30pm ‘Structural comparison between Hollywood and Asian Producing’ Hollywood film producing is greatly different from producing Asian films. What are their competitive advantages? With the trend of international co-operation and co-productions, how could Hollywood and Asian film-makers work together to achieve the greatest synergy? Renowned producers


and scholars from Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan will analyse the new trends around producing and examine the cross- region co-operation opportunities around the world.


Session two: 3:30pm-5:00pm ‘A New Era for Asian Films: Co-production and Investment’ The rapid economic growth puts China under the world spotlight; the film market is no exception. The box-office revenue of mainland China rose tremendously, from $944m (RMB6.2bn) in 2009 to more than $1.52bn (RMB10bn) in 2010.


The enormous


growth in box office led to the increasing capital investment and industry players from Asia entering in the Chinese mainland film market. Some of them have achieved great success by overcoming various challenges on film production, capital return, manpower management and government policy. Speakers on the


panel will share their experiences on investing in co-production films and examine the new era of Asian films.
