China 2025 First Half Box Office & Upcoming Films
Streamlined is back after a summer break during which you may have noticed that the Streamlined Global website had a makeover. The site is designed to help indie producers, sales agents, buyers and programmers with their work in Asia, Middle East and Africa and I’d love to hear your thoughts on which elements of the site are useful or what else you would like to see. More upgrades will be happening over the summer.
Two sections of the site have recently been updated – Funding News and Project Markets. This link takes you through to all the recent funding announcements in Asia and the Middle East, including Busan’s Asian Cinema Fund, Doha Film Institute and the Singapore International Film Festival film fund. This link takes you to all the recent project market line-ups across the region, including Locarno Open Doors, Venice Gap Financing Market, Shanghai’s SIFF Project and Amman Film Industry Days in Jordan.
Streamlined also carries some rolling lists you may find useful – Southeast Asia Projects in the Pipeline and China’s release schedule for imports and co-productions. A new Festival Dates list has recently been added with details of film festivals, markets and TV events taking place this year across Asia, Middle East and Africa (with the biggest European and North American events also listed).
Streamlined Guides will be back next week with the long-awaited report on Asian Co-Production Funds, which will be published in two parts. Huge apologies for the delay – it has been an epic piece of research that has given me a whole new appreciation of the complicated life of an independent producer, some of whom could have made an entire film in the time it’s taken me to research this report.
