Pingyao Project Promotion 2025: Full Line-Up
China’s Pingyao International Film Festival (September 24-30) has selected 16 projects for this year’s Pingyao Project Promotion (PPP), including two projects from filmmakers in Shanxi province.
This year’s PPP will also include a selection of 15 literary works, from short stories to full-length ficion, that are being presented as suitable for adaptation.
Pingyao Project Promotion is a financing platform for Chinese-language projects with completed scripts. The event takes place during the Pingyao International Fim Festival (PYIFF), founded by Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke in the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi province.
The festival screens Chinese and international cinema with two competition sections dedicated to new talent - the Hidden Dragons section for emerging Chinese filmmakers, and the Crouching Tigers section for emerging international filmmakers.
