The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) is calling on the participation of local film and TV production entities in the “Macao Pavilion” at the 2025 Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART), and applications will be accepted until tomorrow, according to an IC statement yesterday.
The bureau said it decided to extend the application process by three more days, i.e., until tomorrow because of the “enthusiasm” shown by potential applicants.
In order to promote the local film and TV production industry and attract non-local film and TV projects to film in Macau, the bureau will organise the participation of local film and TV production entities in the “Macao Pavilion” at FILMART, offering a good platform for the industry to explore exchange and cooperation opportunities, and boosting the synergy between the cultural and creative industries and the tourism sector, the statement said.
Applications are open for Macau companies with experience in assisting a minimum of six non-local film and TV projects shot in Macau between 2014 and 2024, the statement said, adding that the bureau will select a maximum of eight companies to participate in the “Macao Pavillion” based on the following criteria: past experience in assisting film and TV projects from places other than mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan to be produced in Macau, the scale of non-local film and TV projects to be produced in Macau, and the tasks they plan to be in charge of.
The application rules and the application form are available at www.macaucci.gov.mo, the statement said, adding that applicants can submit the required documents via email to SIF@icm.gov.mo before tomorrow.
For enquiries, interested individuals can contact the bureau’s staff members on 8399 6256 or 8399 6295 during office hours.
