This afternoon the 8th Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) announced the winners for the HAF Awards, the Wouter Barendrecht Award, the Technicolor Asia Award, and the Paris Project Award, as the final act in the perfectly formed and beautifully choreographed three day event.
HAF saw a 10% increase in film financiers from Mainland China this year, as well as a 10% rise in confirmed appointments, which ran to over 500 and didn’t include the many casual meetings and discussions taking place throughout the three days, both within the official HAF venue and elsewhere around the Convention Centre.
