Organised by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), FILMART has poised itself as the

business. The long-standing exhibition covers various aspects along the value chain which

financing, film & broadcasting equipment and also location shooting services.
FILMART’s international flavour was well reflected in the fair figures:
888 exhibitors from 35 countries and regions
A total number of 47 group pavilions from 20 countries and regions, including new pavilions
from Italy and Korea
Strong Chinese presence with 264 exhibitors including new pavilions from Jiangsu,

Other returning pavilions from around the world:

Close to 9,000 visitors from 52 countries and regions attended the market

including the Philippines, India, Indonesia and Vietnam
An increasing number of buyers from Over-the-top platforms (OTT) has been recorded,
including Netflix, Iflix, Astro, Viu TV, Iqiyi and Viki.

the East and the West. As the springboard to success,

to tap on the gigantic market of the Chinese mainland.
On the other hand, our platform also serves as the place for
Chinese filmmakers, televisioners and animation industry
players to promote their productions to buyers from both
mature and emerging markets, especially from Asia.
This year, we were very proud to have 260+ Chinese
exhibitors, with new group pavilions from Jiangsu and
Hengdian, and repeated participation from our partners such
as China International TV Corporation(CCTV),
National Foreign Culture Trade Base, Capital Radio &
