Bridging Visions (formerly Bridging the Dragon) joined forces once again with the European Film Market @efm_europeanfilmmarket to present a new edition of our long-running forum.

New platforms, changing audience habits, and evolving production models are reshaping the film landscape, with many of the most dynamic shifts emerging from Asia.
We were truly encouraged by the depth of the exchange and the strong interest in practical Asia–Europe collaboration.

Looking back at Cannes, we were happy to support the Mongolian Films Pitch Session, where four fresh and ambitious projects from Mongolia took the spotlight at Marché du Film.
Hosted by the Mongolian National Film Council, the session also gave a sneak peek into Mongolia’s growing support for international productions — including up to 45% reimbursement for filming in the country.
The room was buzzing with curiosity and genuine interest. 🧭🎥
Big thanks to everyone who showed up, listened in, and made it such a warm and inspiring morning!

In mezzo a tante iniziative che abbiamo organizzato durante il Marché du Film Cannes, sono stato molto contento di partecipare come speaker al Panel dedicato alle co-produzioni organizzato dall'Hong Kong Development Council. È stato un dibattito molto interessante insieme ad amici e colleghi dallo sguardo al loro modo unico come Eric Lin di Alibaba pictures, Ronan Amonasro Wong produttore del primo film interattivo distribuito con successo in questo giorni in Giappone, Debbie Lam vicepresidente dell'associazione di produttori di Hong Kong e il produttore giapponese Shin Yamaguchi. Il tutto moderato dalla brava Silvia Wong di Screen international. Per me è sempre affascinante conoscere i punti di vista nuovi che potrebbero ispirarci nelle nostre attività future.
