SCREENSINGAPORE

A Premier Film Market for Southeast Asia

ScreenSingapore is Southeast Asia’s definitive marketplace for filmmakers, producers, distributors, financiers and film buyers to explore co-production opportunities, seek financing, make deals and stay abreast of the evolving film landscape.

In partnership with Southeast Asian Audio-Visual Association (SAAVA) and Ties That Bind: Asia/Europe Producers Workshop (TTB), ScreenSingapore provides an exclusive opportunity to connect promising filmmakers and producers from Southeast Asia and Europe with international collaborating partners, festival programmers, distributors and investors.

CO-LOCATED WITH

Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) brings together international content sellers and Asian buyers to buy & sell content, seek financing, find distributors and identify new co-production partners.

Ties That Bind is an innovative programme designed to assist producers from Asia and Europe with potential European-Asian co-production projects. The programme is led by a team of top experts from Asia and Europe. Further activities include pitching sessions, case studies and individual meetings with decision makers.

SAFF PROJECT MARKET

Bringing film projects to fruition

The Southeast Asian Film Financing Forum (“SAFF”) is an annual summit that brings together the best feature film concepts from Asia and Europe, to meet with international co-producing partners, festival programmers, distributors, commissioners, and financiers.

Up to 15 projects will be selected by a panel to be featured at the SAFF Project Market.

Selected projects will stand a chance to win prizes at the end of the SAFF Project Market, during its Closing Ceremony.
