HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Quam Limited ("Quam" or the "Group"; Stock Code: 952.hk), a prominent Hong Kong-based financial services group, is pleased to announce its major sponsorship of the 8th Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum ("HAF"), one of the annual major events of The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society ("HKIFFS"), which is held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 22 to 24 March 2010.
Mr Bernard Pouliot, the Chairman of Quam, was honoured to be invited as the guest speaker in today's luncheon to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Mr Pouliot will share on the vision of making Hong Kong as the "Hollywood of Asia". It will be attended by film financiers / investors, film makers, and HAF advisors.
"Film production in Hong Kong is presently getting invigorated financing support from an assortment of sources the government, councils, private business, and even from Mainland entrepreneurs", said Mr Pouliot, Chairman of Quam. "However, the approach to financing is fragmented and has to be institutionalized and given the integrated infrastructure it needs to set out not just policies, but simple and quick operational mechanics for setting up a loan scheme, for attracting investments from the Mainland, managing film funds, and most importantly, extending tax incentives to film investors", he added.
Organized by HKIFFS, HAF is widely recognized by as the most important film-financing platform in Asia. The HAF brings Asian filmmakers with upcoming film projects to Hong Kong for co-production ventures with top film financiers, producers, bankers, distributors and buyers. The 25 outstanding film projects that have been selected for this year's HAF come from 17 territories in Asia and other parts of the world. World-class talents and celebrities are participating in the event, including Fruit Chan, Lam Yat-fung, Pang Ho-cheung, Jia Zhangke among others.
HKIFFS is a charitable, non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to the discovery and promotion of creativity in the art and culture of film. To strengthen global appreciation of Chinese film culture, promote inspiring films from around the world and commit to the development of a vibrant film culture in Hong Kong and Asia, HKIFFS organizes three annual flagship events each year in March and April, namely The Hong Kong International Film Festival, HAF and Asian Film Awards.
