Such an opportunity and platform are rare for many filmmakers, and the BJIFF Project Pitches is a good one. We truly understand the young filmmakers. To provide useful and valuable benefits to project owners, we invited Yin Lu, Gu Xiaogang and Su Biao as the 2nd-round selection jury, who were readily to offer opportunities for the outstanding projects in need.

 

　　

After two days of review and interview, 20 projects were shortlisted for project negotiation, among which the top 10 entered the final-round project pitching for final evaluation. Six projects of the WIPs were selected for the final-round project pitching and negotiation and final evaluation. In addition, three sports-related projects from Beijing International Sports Film Week and four projects from Hong Kong, China will also enter the final-round project pitching and final evaluation.
