REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT OF THE IFC 

16 participants of the IFC will attend a 5-day camp in Macau from April 9 to 13, 2024. To facilitate travel, participants are required to arrive on April 8, and depart on April 14.  

By mid-March, 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 on their short film projects; and workshops and masterclasses hosted by experienced filmmakers on the creative and business aspects of film industry. Participants are expected to gain knowledge and insights that help them re-write 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 with HKD300,000 fund 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 Ltd. (SCL), Create Hong Kong, and Film Development Fund (FDF) in any subsequent project materials. Logos of AFAA, SCL, Create Hong Kong, and FDF, should be included in project materials and credits of the finished films, along with the caption ‘Supported by the International Film Camp’.
