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 organisation of business events during major film festivals and by providing consultancy and matchmaking opportunities. This objective will be accomplished through two different cornerstones:I) Bridging the Dragon Events; at four major film festivals a series of events will be organised like round-table discussions, case-studies and specific business presentations, networking dinners and project & business labs. They’ll be focused on increasing the interaction between the two continents and creating the premises for further collaboration.II) Bridging the Dragon Liaison Bureau; offices in Berlin, Shanghai and Beijing will provide all year long concrete information and offer our European members consultancy and advice on (co-) producing with mainland China.
