| Largest HKTDC Pavilion to Grace Marche du Film |
HONG KONG, May 14, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Leading Hong Kong filmmakers will feature their latest cinematic projects at Marche du Film, the world's largest film market, which runs 15-26 May as part of the concurrent 66th Festival de Cannes (Cannes Film Festival).
This year's Hong Kong Pavilion will be the largest to take part in the event. It will include six Hong Kong exhibitors organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), as well as another six companies organised by the Hong Kong Motion Picture Association (MPIA), which secured funding from CreateHK and support from the Movie Producers & Distributors Association of Hong Kong. The 12 Hong Kong companies will showcase their latest productions, discuss co-production projects and talk financing and marketing with buyers from all over the world.
Hong Kong in the Limelight
"We are organising the Hong Kong Pavilion for the eighth year running to promote Hong Kong's vibrant and creative film industry to international markets," said HKTDC Assistant Executive Director Raymond Yip, who added that the pavilion will take advantage of growing interest in Asian cinema at Cannes.
The Hong Kong Pavilion at the trade event's Riviera section will feature exhibits by All Rights Entertainment Ltd, Edko Films Ltd, Entertaining Power Co Ltd, Film Mall Ltd, Film Plus, Fortune Star Entertainment (HK) Ltd, Golden Scene Co Ltd, Good Idea Movie Production Co Ltd, Mega-Vision Pictures Ltd, Popular Lead Ltd, Universe Films Distribution Co Ltd and We Distribution Ltd.

The Pavilion is also an excellent opportunity for local industry players to pursue the business leads they generated at the HKTDC Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART) in March. Asia's largest film market, FILMART this year set new attendance records, with 710 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions, and more than 6,300 visitors from nearly 50 countries and regions taking part.
Through the Pavilion at Cannes, the HKTDC expects to attract leading filmmakers and industry players from all over the world to next year's FILMART, scheduled for 24-27 March.
