Australia-China Screen Alliance launched
The Australia-China Screen Alliance (ACSA) was yesterday launched at the Australian International Movie Convention on the Gold Coast.
The initiative is a joint cooperation between the Screen Producers Association of Australia (SPAA) and the China Film Producers Association to help film and television producers navigate the logistics of co-productions between the two countries.
The alliance, sparked from director Mario Andreacchio’s experience to get film The Dragon Pearl off the ground was first announced in November of last year.
“This initiative has arisen from the Australian industry’s considerable interest in China as a screen co-production partner and the high demand for information and opinion. ACSA can be a starting point for the first time China co-production as much as a resource base for aspects such as legals and even translators,” Mario Andreacchio said.
