Filmart 2026: China, Hong Kong & The Future Of Content
This edition of Streamlined is coming to you from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in Southwest China, the latest stop on my digital nomad tour – more on both China and my nomad life later.
Everyone I’ve met so far in Chengdu has been very friendly, but I do feel that they’re looking at me as if I’m the village idiot as I stumble through my rusty Chinese and fumble with various apps and high-tech devices. Now I know what it feels like to be an immigrant from a developing country landing in a developed country, with limited language skills, and with my eyes boggling at the fancy malls and electric cars.
Anyway, this newsletter is focusing on Filmart, which took place in Hong Kong last week (March 17-20), along with a round-up of Filmart production news, while the next will catch up on the Eid holiday box office in various territories, as well as providing a round-up of Filmart sales news.
