Filmart Goes Online for 2020 Edition

Travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have prompted the organizers of Hong Kong Filmart to move this year’s edition, previously postponed from March to August, entirely online.

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will host Filmart 2020 as a virtual event from August 26 to 29.

“We all recognize the importance of maintaining entertainment market business momentum amid delayed productions, closed theatres and altered audience behavior,” said the HKTDC in a statement.

The virtual event will give exhibitors dedicated company pages to showcase their titles and provide trailers. The platform will enable sellers to connect with buyers through virtual meetings. There will also be a range of seminars, panels and content showcases.
