Taiwan’s Golden Horse Film Festival has unveiled that a massive 40 aspiring feature film projects have been selected for its annual project market, the Film Project Promotion. A further 8 efforts will be presented in the work in progress section.
The event runs Nov. 19-21 in Taipei. The winners will be announced at a closing ceremony on Nov. 21st. The festival runs Nov. 7-24 and hosts its prestigious Golden Horse Film Awards at a Saturday night gala on Nov. 23.
The awards are under severe pressure from strained political relations with mainland China. While in previous years, the Golden Horse Awards have seen the participation of Chinese-language films from around the Asia region, the 2019 edition has been boycotted by mainland Chinese films on the order of China’s National Film Administration. Many films and filmmakers from Hong Kong have followed the mainland example, stripping the Awards of much of their meaning.
