In March 2012, ACE will hold its second ACE COPRODUCTION LAB IN HONG-KONG, during the Hong Kong – Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF).
The COPRODUCTION LAB IN HK is an exclusive 4-day project-based workshop that will gather European & Chinese professionals in Hong-Kong from 18th–22nd March 2012.
The Coproduction Lab in HK aims to develop the opportunities for artistic and financial cooperation between a selected group of 10 Chinese and 6 European producers with a team of influential industry professionals and key decision makers. It will help the participants to better understand their cultural differences and their working habits.
The Coproduction Lab in HK is targeted at experienced independent producers and will consist of case studies, marketplace presentations, pitching sessions, 1-to-1 meetings and networking events.

ACE held its first Co-production Lab in Hong Kong from the 20th to 24th of March last, in collaboration with the HAF and Filmart.
Four intense days of very technical exchanges with producers, distributors and talent agencies from Hong Kong and mainland China, which were as fascinating for the European as for the Chinese participants. The Lab ended with two case studies of films that were co-financed by Europe and China: Pinoy Sunday , produced by Natacha Devillers and Chongqing Blues (Official Selection Cannes 2010), produced by Isabelle Glachant.
The Chinese market, which sees an annual 40% rise in the box office, attracts more ACE members every year. We hope that this event will be the beginning of a fruitful, long-term relationship with Chinese professionals.
The first ACE CO-PRODUCTION LAB IN HONG-KONG will take place from the 20th to the 24th of March 2011, in partnership with SINAPSES ASIA Ltd, HONG – KONG ASIA FILM FINANCING FORUM (HAF) and the TAIPEI FILM COMMISSION.
This 4-day lab during Filmart will consist of case studies about coproduction between EU and Chinese companies, screenings, plenary sessions on distribution of foreign films in the EU and in the Chinese territories, pitching sessions, one-to-one meetings between the participants and the experts, market presentations and a meeting with a panel of Chinese talent agents.
The participants are 10 Chinese producers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore and 6 EU producers from France, Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the 16 of them holding a project.
