, the Hong Kong film and TV market that attracts a wide cohort of international sales delegates each March, is facing a challenging 2020 edition, with multiple companies telling us they are considering skipping the event.
Last year’s Filmart reported it had 888 exhibitors from 35 countries and regions, and a total of 9,000 visitors from 52 countries and regions. One body told us it will adhere to the government’s FCO travel guidance, which currently does not advise against travelling but does note that visitors should “remain vigilant” about the protests and should be wary of potential travel disruption.
European Film Promotion, the international network of national film promoting bodies, which also arranges a pavilion at Filmart and provides support to attending companies, told us it was forecasting its membership’s “attendance could be a little lower compared to last year”.
