Investment fair to hold seminar on film financing

The 2016 Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Film Production Investment and Trade Fair will be held at the Regency Hotel Macau, on August 16 and 17.
Co-organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (ICM), the Hong Kong Film Development Council and the Guangdong Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, this year’s fair will feature a seminar on film financing.
Senior Hong Kong filmmakers Patrick Tong and Mathew Tang, as well as an independent investor from mainland China, Liu Xiaofeng, have been invited to discuss new trends in film financing in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau regions.
Patrick Tong has been the producer and executive producer of nearly 100 films, including “Echoes of the Rainbow,” “The Grandmaster,” and “Port of Call,” while Mathew Tang has been involved in the shooting of close to 40 films, including working as producer for ten films, most notably “Cold War” and “Finding Mr. Right.”
Liu Xiaofeng has actively participated in film crowd-funding in recent years.
According to ICM, there are 30 seats available for the seminar on a first come, first served basis. The seminar will be conducted in Cantonese and Mandarin, with Chinese-to-Portuguese translation provided.
