Highlights:

• Forum brings UK and Chinese film professionals together to explore collaborations.
• Emerging British-Asian talent gain mentorship and international exposure.

• Telling stories that feel real to their culture, yet can connect with anyone, is what makes them work worldwide.
• Meeting three times a year keeps the UK and China talking, creating opportunities that last beyond one event.

The theatre was packed for the Third Shanghai–London Screen Industry Forum. Between panels and workshops, filmmakers, producers and executives discussed ideas and business cards and it felt more than just a summit. British-Asian filmmakers were meeting and greeting the Chinese industry in an attempt to explore genuine possibilities of working in China’s film market.
