A New Place to Connect East and West Film Projects and Experiences

Established in 2016 by the IFFAM in the framework of its Industry Hub, Crouching Tigers is a new destination for industry professionals looking for original opportunities for co-production and co-financing of their feature length film projects.

 

The Crouching Tigers Project Lab has been conceived around three structuring concepts:

 

  1. Exciting and innovative perspectives in the integration of Asian and non-Asian elements in film script and production.
  2. Special Focus on Genre Cinema, including both its classic forms and  contemporary trends originated by new technologies and formats.
  3. Effective networking, designed to foster lasting creative collaborations and coproduction partnerships.

Over the course of 4 days, through one-on-one meeting sessions, consulting services, workshops and panels, Crouching Tigers aims at providing an ideal opportunity to establish significant connections between seasoned industry professionals from the East and the West, in a professional and relaxed atmosphere.
