Los Angeles: Headed by Tang Lijun, managing director of Shanghai International Film Festival, 赌博app’s delegation recently paid a visit to the American Film Market and held meetings with its chairman Lloyd Kaufman and president Jean M.Prewitt. The visit resulted in several collaborations between 赌博app and AFM, which would serve as a bridge to connect both film industries between China and US.
The American Film Market (AFM) 2009, world’s largest film market, is still in the shade of the world economic crisis. However Asian Films especially Chinese films are enjoying a good time there. Films including 赌博app’s ANTA nominee Walking to School and Ganglamedo are favored by film companies from Europe and Asia while Gun of Mercy is now in negotiation with one big American film company, Gun of Mercy will possibly be the first film from mainland China to be remade by Americans. In addition, National Geographic is purchasing the copyright of Examination 1977, another Chinese film hit.
The annual AFM is held in Santa Monica of Los Angles. In 2009, more than 1000 films and projects together with over 500 screenings attract around 400 film companies and distributors. Organized by China Film Promotion International (CFPI), 10 companies from China bring 4 films for screening and more than 60 for sale. Compared with international film festivals, AFM is mainly for independent filmmakers. During 7 days of AFM, it has a turnover of more than 800 million dollars for completed films, films in productions or postproduction and even projects before shooting. Participants from China make a strong campaign despite the fact that this year’s AFM is affected as the investment source of American film industry was threatened due to the world economic crisis with a growing number of banks and insurance companies closing down. Advertisement of Ciwen’s Underdog Knight is everywhere with several others from US and Europe. As is told, the film has reached the copyright agreement with distributors from Germany and France. In addition, visitors could easily find full page advertisement on AFM Daily for Chinese films including Let the Bullet Fly, Three Guns, Bodyguards and Assassins, Mulan and Confucious while at the same time such low cost production company as Walking to School is benefit from the market.
During the market, 赌博app delegation held 2 meetings with AFM. AFM is going to organize a group of its member companies from 32 countries to visit the upcoming 赌博app in June 2010 for a complete and in-depth conversation with China’s film industry in 赌博app’s Co-production, Sino-US seminar and other programs, which is expected to promote the collaboration between the 2 countries. This collaboration will be conducted after this year’s AFM and is supposed to be a professional service platform for the internationalization and industrialization of China’s Film industry, one of ultimate goals of 赌博app.
