TAIPEI, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Taiwan Creative
Content Agency (TAICCA) is pleased to announce that the 5th Taiwan
Creative Content Fest (TCCF) will take place from November 5th to 8th at the Taipei Nangang
Exhibition Center. The "Project to Screen" section continues to
invite international submissions, with expected total investment
resources of over USD 3 million
provided.
"Project to Screen": Facilitating Production and Market
Access
The "Project to Screen" section includes four categories:
feature films, series, animation, and documentaries. Submissions
open on June 3rd and will undergo
evaluation by a panel of international juries. Selected entries
will receive training resources and present proposals during TCCF,
with accommodation subsidies offered. One outstanding project will
be awarded the "Project to Screen: Best Project" award and a prize
of USD 30,000.
All selected projects can apply for TAICCA's "Creative
Content Development Program (CCDP) - Development Fund" and
"Taiwan's International Co-funding
Program 2.0 (TICP 2.0) Option 2" within two years. The total
funding surpasses USD 3 million,
providing resources to advance project development and establish
connections within the market. Both initiatives have helped build
on success at the Berlinale and Cannes Film Festival in 2024, paving the way
for high-quality works with international marketability.
TCCF 2024 continues to collaborate with international festivals,
markets, and organizations to promote audiovisual works and talents
to the European and global markets. One project selected by Series
Mania is invited to participate in the 2025 event. The BIFAN NAFF
Project Market, Focus Asia-All Genres Market, and the MIFFest
Project Market will also select project proposals from TCCF to
participate in upcoming events.
TCCF award winners are making significant impacts and gaining
recognition at prestigious film festivals and markets. The
documentary "After the Snowmelt," winner of the "TAICCA X CNC
AWARD" in TCCF 2023, has since been selected to multiple
international film festivals, including Visions du Réel in
Switzerland, Jeonju International
Film Festival in South Korea,
Trento Film Festival in Italy, and
Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Poland, showcasing Taiwan's cultural and content strengths on the
global stage.
Aside from projects selected from the TCCF Project to Screen
open call, ones from TAICCA's workshop in collaboration with
"Festival des 3 Continents / Produire au Sud," "Series Mania
Institute," and audiovisual professionals from South Korea, will also be presented in
respected pitching sessions.
"Story to Screen" Sessions: Showcase of Adaptation Potential
for Industry Buyers
Another section of TCCF PITCHING "Story to Screen'' recommends
story IPs with adaptation potential, including fiction and
non-fiction, comics, and original story concepts. Along with "Shoot
the Book! TCCF" session - a collaboration with SCELF, "Story to
Screen" will present Taiwanese and French stories with
marketability to domestic and international buyers and
professionals, aiming to facilitate adaptations, foster
collaborations, and expand the reach of compelling narratives.
Elevating Taiwan's Creative
Industry: TAICCA Pioneers Collaboration and Funding
Homme TSAI, TAICCA's chairman, emphasized the agency's
commitment to enhancing Taiwan's
creative industry. To further support the cultural investment
environment, that was made favorable following the amendment
regarding the Development of the Cultural and Creative Industries
Act, TAICCA has collaborated with leading domestic
telecommunication and technology companies, including ASUS and
ADATA, as well as international creative content companies such as
CJ ENM Hong Kong and Warner Bros. Discovery Group, to establish
funds, laying the groundwork for producing high-quality works with
global appeal.
TCCF is a major annual event in the Asian creative content
industry, attracting buyers and sellers internationally to converge
and engage in networking and commercial negotiations. Divided into
three main sections — PITCHING, MARKET, and FORUM — TCCF aims to
promote exceptional works with marketability and international
influence, while actively fostering opportunities for transmedia
content development, investment, sales, and distribution.
