Stefano Turi, Director, Filas & Giulia Rodano, The Regione Lazio Councillor for Culture & Entertainment (11/04/2007)

"Our audiovisual industry is comprised of hundreds of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) which, in order to grow, must form strong alliances and must participate in co-productions. FILMART Hong Kong is an ideal platform to look for partners as Asian countries can boast of strong domestic markets and great production vitality." Giulia Rodano, The Regione Lazio Councillor for Culture and Entertainment "The Regione Lazio aspires to become the main AV communication channel between Asia and Europe. The participation in the Hong Kong FILMART - which follows an agreement signed with Singapore - aims at creating new business opportunities as well as promoting shared development of advanced technologies for cinema and TV, creating coproductions, identifying public and private financial resources and co-participating in important events such as the Rome Cinema Festival. We also invite Asian producers to the next edition of the television Fiction Festival, promoted by the Regione Lazio in Rome in July."
