The seminar, co-organised by the HKTDC and the Vietnam Cinema Association, drew the participation of around 40 Vietnamese films and television companies in the north.

At the seminar, participants explored film and television industry trends in Hong Kong and learned about the prospects of co-operation with Hong Kong in film production.

"Though the film and TV industry in Vietnam is rapidly growing and very promising, it needs more content and expertise," said Tina Phan, director of the HKTDC in Vietnam.
"Hong Kong will be an ideal platform for Vietnamese movie makers to interact with global experts and technology," said Tina.

The Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART) was also discussed.
FILMART is an annual international trade event that promotes Hong Kong as the regional hub for film distribution and production, television programming and entertainment-related products in the Asia-Pacific region.
