REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT OF THE IFC 

16 participants of the IFC will attend a 5-day camp in Macau from September 11 to 15, 2025. To facilitate travel, participants are required to arrive on September 10 and depart on September 16.

By mid-August, participants are required to send English scripts of their short films to be shared with IFC mentors for discussion during the camp.

During the IFC, participants will attend one-on-one sessions with mentors to discuss their short film projects, as well as workshops and masterclasses hosted by experienced filmmakers on the creative and business aspects of the film industry. Participants are expected to gain knowledge and insights that will help them rewrite their scripts. By the end of the 5-day camp, all participants will pitch their projects to the jury, who will then select 8 projects, each to be awarded HKD 300,000 in funding to produce their short films.

Throughout the duration of the IFC, photographs and videos will be taken by AFAA’s official crew for publicity purposes.

Ownership of the written materials produced during the IFC will belong solely to the participant.

The short film projects selected for production funding must indicate the support of the International Film Camp (IFC), Asian Film Awards Academy (AFAA), Sands China Limited (SCL), the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, and Film Development Fund (FDF) in any subsequent project materials. Logos of AFAA, SCL, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, and FDF should be included in project materials and credits of the finished films, along with the caption “Supported by the International Film Camp.”
