Marco Mueller’s Macau Festival Adds Competition, Sidebars1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe new International Film Festival and Awards Macau, headed by Marco Mueller, will feature a main competition section as well as four non-competitive strands. The first edition of the IFFAM will take place in Macau December 8-13, 2016. The festival will have “a strong but not exclusive focus on genre titles,” organisers confirmed Monday.
The competition will feature 10-12 new international films to be judged by a jury of five film professionals. The out-of-competition gala section will showcase six of the most important works of the second half of the year. The “˜Hidden Dragons’ section will present six films that represent the latest trends in contemporary Asian genre cinema, while a “˜Best of Fest Panorama’ will contain 5 or 6 award winning films from other major festivals. Submissions are open until September 30, 2016. A previously announced section of 12 non-East Asian, non-U.S. genre films selected by a dozen major East Asian film directors, is now named “˜Crossfire.’
