Countdown to FILMART 2024; Hong Kong prepares to welcome 700+ exhibitors and groups of worldwide industry players
13 February 2024
The countdown to FILMART 2024 has kicked into high gear, with organisers saying more than 700 regional Asia and international exhibitors are expected to gather in Hong Kong for the four-day event, which runs from 11-14 March.
The 28th edition of the entertainment content marketplace will continue to showcase a wide range of international content with a substantial Asian presence, organiser, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), says.
Confirmed country pavilions this year include FILMART regulars as well as new entrants and those that have decided to return after a break of a few years.
Exhibiting for the first time this year are Indonesia, Macau and Saudi Arabia. The three are joined by regular FILMART attendees – Mainland China, the European Union, Italy, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States – as well as countries resuming their presence at the show after a break.
Mainland China’s regional industries are strong supporters, with pavilions from Beijing, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hangzhou, Hunan, Jiangsu, Ningbo, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Zhejiang. Joining them for the first time this year is Hubei.
FILMART organiser listed three countries – India, the Philippines and the U.K. – on their win-backs list, further cementing the event’s position on the global content calendar and strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a regional IP trading hub.
Hong Kong companies, making the most of being on home turf, will have a major presence at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Participants from Hong Kong this year include Media Asia, Emperor Motion Picture, Edko, Golden Scene, Mandarin Motion Picture, One Cool, PCCW and Universe Film. Returning to the market floor in March are TVBI, RTHK and Phoenix Satellite Television Co Ltd.
Major exhibitors from Mainland China and overseas include Alibaba Culture and Entertainment and Bilibili, both of which are new at the show, along with Contents Panda, Huace, iQIYI, Kadokawa, K-Movie, Shanghai Youhug Media, TBS, Tencent and TV Asahi.
The Digital Entertainment Pavilion continues to house more than 30 homegrown companies showcasing animation, game contents and production services.
A virtual production studio will be set up for the first time at the fairground, where live content will be generated to showcase the latest technology.
