TAIPEI, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) is pleased
to announce that the 5th Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) will
take place from November 5th to 8th
at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The "Project to Screen"
section continues to invite international submissions, with
expected total investment resources of over USD 3 million provided.
"Project to Screen": Facilitating Production and Market
Access
The "Project to Screen" section includes four categories:
feature films, series, animation, and documentaries. Submissions
open on June 3rd and will undergo
evaluation by a panel of international juries. Selected entries
will receive training resources and present proposals during TCCF,
with accommodation subsidies offered. One outstanding project will
be awarded the "Project to Screen: Best Project" award and a prize
of USD 30,000.
All selected projects can apply for TAICCA's "Creative Content Development Program
(CCDP) - Development Fund" and "Taiwan's International Co-funding Program 2.0
(TICP 2.0) Option 2" within two years. The total funding surpasses
USD 3 million, providing resources to
advance project development and establish connections within the
market. Both initiatives have helped build on success at the
Berlinale and Cannes Film Festival
in 2024, paving the way for high-quality works with international
marketability.
TCCF 2024 continues to collaborate with international festivals,
markets, and organizations to promote audiovisual works and talents
to the European and global markets. One project selected by Series
Mania is invited to participate in the 2025 event. The BIFAN NAFF
Project Market, Focus Asia-All Genres Market, and the MIFFest
Project Market will also select project proposals from TCCF to
participate in upcoming events.
TCCF award winners are making significant impacts and gaining
recognition at prestigious film festivals and markets. The
documentary "After the Snowmelt," winner of the "TAICCA X CNC
AWARD" in TCCF 2023, has since been selected to multiple
international film festivals, including Visions du Réel in
Switzerland, Jeonju International
Film Festival in South Korea,
Trento Film Festival in Italy, and
Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Poland, showcasing Taiwan's cultural and content strengths on the
global stage.
Aside from projects selected from the TCCF Project to Screen
open call, ones from TAICCA's workshop in collaboration with
"Festival des 3 Continents / Produire au Sud," "Series Mania
Institute," and audiovisual professionals from South Korea, will also be presented in
respected pitching sessions.
"Story to Screen" Sessions: Showcase of Adaptation Potential
for Industry Buyers
Another section of TCCF PITCHING "Story to Screen'' recommends
story IPs with adaptation potential, including fiction and
non-fiction, comics, and original story concepts. Along with "Shoot
the Book! TCCF" session - a collaboration with SCELF, "Story to
Screen" will present Taiwanese and French stories with
marketability to domestic and international buyers and
professionals, aiming to facilitate adaptations, foster
collaborations, and expand the reach of compelling narratives.
Elevating Taiwan's Creative
Industry: TAICCA Pioneers Collaboration and Funding
Homme TSAI, TAICCA's chairman, emphasized the agency's
commitment to enhancing Taiwan's
creative industry. To further support the cultural investment
environment, that was made favorable following the amendment
regarding the Development of the Cultural and Creative Industries
Act, TAICCA has collaborated with leading domestic
telecommunication and technology companies, including ASUS and
ADATA, as well as international creative content companies such as
CJ ENM Hong Kong and Warner Bros. Discovery Group, to establish
funds, laying the groundwork for producing high-quality works with
global appeal.
TCCF is a major annual event in the Asian creative content
industry, attracting buyers and sellers internationally to converge
and engage in networking and commercial negotiations. Divided into
three main sections — PITCHING, MARKET, and FORUM — TCCF aims to
promote exceptional works with marketability and international
influence, while actively fostering opportunities for transmedia
content development, investment, sales, and distribution.
