The Southeast Asian Film Financing (SAFF) Project Market may be a brand new addition to Screen Singapore 2015, but it has already amassed an overwhelming 148 project submissions from 22 countries, after a call that ended on Sept 30.

The inaugural SAFF Project Market is an initiative to connect film-makers and their in-development projects with potential financiers, investors, collaborators and co-production partners. It is organised in partnership with the South-east Asian Audio Visual Association (SAAVA), a non-profit organisation that seeks to unify media producers and media financiers in the region, ScreenSingapore and the Ties That Bind producing programme from Europe.

A selection panel will choose the top 10 projects to be featured at the project market. It will comprise of: Paolo Bertolin (Venice International Film festival programmer and film critic), Kristina Trapp (CEO of European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs), Jongsuk Thomas Nam (managing director of Network of Asian Fantastic Films), Benjamin Illos (selection committee member of the Director’s Fortnight, Cannes International Film Festival) and Chan Gin Kai (executive producer of the Silver Media Group and chairman of SAAVA).
