In order to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between Macau’s film and television talent and mainland China, the Macau SAR’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) has established “Macao Film and Television Industry Service Centre”, which commenced trial operation on 1 September.
Located at the IC Building, the centre provides consultation and referral services, aiming to assist the film and television industry in effectively connecting with mainland China, promote industrial integration and market expansion, foster more opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between the film and television industries of Macau and the mainland, and support the industry’s integration into the overall development of the country, according to IC.
Furthermore, the centre’s services include assisting to provide employment information and job referrals related to the film and television industry in mainland China, providing guidance and relevant information on company registration procedures for film and television companies intending to conduct business in the mainland, as well as offering practical information on relevant policies, regulations and copyright protection for projects intending to carry out film and television filming or distribution in mainland China.
In addition, the centre assists Macau’s film and television projects intending to participate in mainland China’s film festivals in obtaining information, provides information on filming permit applications, public screening classification and assessment, as well as organises film and television-related activities in Macau and arranges briefings on mainland China’s policies and industry exchange activities.
Moreover, in order to assist the industry in connecting with resources in the mainland, the centre will establish a cooperation mechanism with Guangdong Film and Television Comprehensive Service Platform, providing the industry with in-person enquiries, online enquiries and organising industry activities, according to IC.
To provide efficient services to the film and television industry, industry members are required to make an appointment by email or telephone and provide the preliminary details of their inquiry. Contact 8399 6356 during office hours or email isc.info@icm.gov.mo for enquiries or appointments.
