This year’s International Film Festival & Awards Macau (IFFAM), with a line-up of stars such as two-time Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and one of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ Aaron Kwok Fu-shing from Hong Kong, will cost about 55 million patacas, Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said yesterday.
According to Senna Fernandes, the amount is about the same that the organisers spent on each of the two previous festivals.
Senna Fernandes, who is also president of the IFFAM Organising Committee, spoke to reporters after an IFFAM press conference at Macau Tower.
