The North America Chinese Directors Tour is by far the ONLY existing program with a mission of discovering emerging Chinese directors who have an educational background in North America, featuring multi-level and multi-channel promotional campaigns and incubator initiatives.
It is a platform that provides emerging Chinese directors with access to industry resources, connecting them to industry capitals, and supports them to jumpstart their careers. Through various screening and networking events in major cities of U.S and China, selected directors will have the opportunity to showcase their films with a broader audience, share experiences with fellow filmmakers, meet with producers and distributors in China, and broadcast their visions to the whole industry. It’s a community where we can inspire and support one another, and work together to ultimately change the shape of Chinese cinema!
