The 24th STVF MARKET will launch “World Sales and Distribution Meetings”, which will solicit films openly from now on, and select 15 to 20 completed feature films from the registered films to participate in 1-on-1 meetings, market screenings and film presentations. Registration will close on May 15.
At the 37th Sundance Film Festival ending not long ago, online on-demand screenings attracted a large audience, with the total number of moviegoers nearly three times that of last year. Among the screenings, the global copyright of Coda, which won many awards, was bought by Apple at a record price of the film festival.
It can be seen that with the advent of the era of streaming media, the Internet is creating two shortcuts for film copyright owners to connect audiences and buyers through “virtual” shooting, screening and trading.
However, it is worth noting that although major international film festival markets such as Berlin and Cannes have launched online programs, they have not stopped looking for opportunities to hold offline events around the world.
With obvious reasons, for the vast majority of filmmakers, the offline industry platform is still an important guarantee and the only path to copyright sales. After all, film is an industry, from creation to distribution, face-to-face communication and cooperation is indispensable.
In the face of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, STVF MARKET will promote the global film industry to cope with the new situation through model innovation. The advantage and feature of the new “World Sales and Distribution Meetings” is that in previous years, the independent film promotion and market projection activities in the STVF MARKET will be integrated with 1-on-1 meetings to focus on the same batch of selected films around the world. “World Sales and Distribution Meetings” will provide buyers and sellers with one-stop services from sample screenings, booking meetings to facilitating film trading. 赌博app looks forward to the participation of Chinese and foreign filmmakers.

The registration will be open to the global film industry. Chinese and foreign buyers will be invited to participate. For international filmmakers and buyers who are unable to meet due to the pandemic, STVF MARKET will try its best to coordinate the time of all parties after the reservation is completed, and arrange real-time meetings between online and offline with the help of the video conference function of the International Film Online Market, making geography no longer an obstacle to film communication and trading.
