FEFF Udine 2025: Hong Kong Legends, Japanese Dolls & Arthouse Distribution
This edition of Streamlined is coming to you from the Far East Film Festival (FEFF) in Udine, Italy, where I was covering both the festival and Focus Asia projects market, with the latter focusing on distribution and funding between Asia and Europe.
The Streamlined Guide to Chinese Buyers will be published next week, but the Streamlined Guide to East Asian Co-production Funds will have to wait until after Cannes. I’m always torn between digging deeper on the research, or publishing faster, but usually it makes sense to keep digging. It never fails to amaze me how difficult it is to obtain simple information in Asia that would be freely available in Europe, but I do believe it’s in everyone’s best interests to make the Asian industry more transparent.
