The Cannes Market has hitched up with the Ties That Bind and Focus Asia organizations to launch Spotlight Asia, a new industry support structure. Debuting during this year’s Cannes film festival, the program aims to foster greater film collaboration between Asia and Europe.
Spotlight Asia will take the form of a series of round table discussions, short presentations and networking events between May 16-24. They will cover genres ranging from fiction to animation.
The collaborative events will especially focus on the tools that potential co-producers from Europe and Asia need to equip themselves with in order to navigate the different forms of cooperative working, ranging from introducing existing funding opportunities to helping navigate each country’s specific laws and production functionalities.
It will also be the first time that the Marché du Film welcomes international film fund representatives to gather under the same room in order to guide producers through their different funding systems.

The Venice Film Festival is under fire from the European Women’s Audiovisual Network and other advocacy groups due to the lack of women directors in its lineup.
In a forthright open letter, the Ewa and signatories including Women in Film & TV International, Wift Nordic, Wift Sweden, and the Swiss Women’s Audiovisual Network, call on Venice to follow the lead of Cannes and Locarno by introducing a diversity pledge and to train staff in detecting “unconscious bias.”
Venice’s main competition lineup only features one female director, Jennifer Kent for The Nightingale. The numbers are getting worse, not better. While women directors made up 22% of the competition in 2012, that percentage has decreased or stayed the same each year since. It has dropped to 4.5% the last two years.
In the letter, which is published in full below, the group says, “Venice, we have seen this film before…these festivals indicate their priorities and values.
