The main objective of Bridging the Dragon is to help connect European film professionals (with a focus on producers) to the fast growing Chinese film market, through the creation of a selected network of film professionals from both continents, the organization of business events during major film festivals and by providing consultancy and matchmaking opportunities. This objective is accomplished through two different cornerstones:I) Bridging the Dragon Events; at four major film festivals we organize a series of events like round-table discussions, case studies and specific business presentations, networking dinners and project & business labs. They focus on increasing the interaction between Europe and China and create the premises for further collaboration.II) Bridging the Dragon Liaison Bureau; our offices in Berlin and Beijing provide all year long concrete information and offer our European members consultancy and advice on co-producing with mainland China. The Bureau benefits from the know-how and “tried and tested’ experience of the diverse Board of the Directors, Members and Partners in each continent. Through this network we enable European film professionals to connect and collaborate more with this still relatively unknown, but incredibly fast growing film market.
