Refn's AVENGING SILENCE Among Selections At Inaugural Crouching Tigers Project Market
The first edition of the International Film Festival And Awards Macao kicks off next month and a major part of the event will be the industry focused project market, Crouching Tigers, which will run in parallel. Designed specifically to help projects with an East-West collaborative element to them find potential partners on their path to completion, Crouching Tigers includes a selection of twelve projects of which six have a specific genre focus, three are from the auteur ranks and a further three are selections of partner organizations (The Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, Frontiers Lab and the Blood Window Lab at Ventana Sur).
I've been fortunate enough to have (and continue to have) a direct hand in these and we have been very pleased to see an incredibly strong lineup come together for this first edition, including projects from Nicolas Winding Refn, Erik Matti, Yu Lik-Wai, Lu Chuan, Djo Munga and others.
