Culture360.org launches a film website dedicated to cinema from Asia
and Europe helping film makers, producers and organisations from both
regions share expertise and content and find information on funding,
networking and distribution opportunities.
Film.culture360.org website is part of the culture360.org thematic
focus websites, connecting its social media channels and external
partners.
The website was officially launched during the film screenings for
Human Frames, which took place from 17 to 20 February at The
Substation, an independent arts centre in Singapore.
Website structure
The website is an open source platform coordinated by one Editor, Mr.
Jeremy Segay, observer of the trends and developments in film,
co-production and public cultural policies.
One of the objectives of the website is to provide relevant information
on different tools, programmes, platforms available for young film
makers from Asia and Europe seeking regional or international
collaboration; this information is available on the website under the

The Magazine section of the websites (
http://film.culture360.org/category/magazine/) provides insights on
practical experiences and study cases and aims to give voice to
observers and active figures of the film sector in the two regions, in
order to understand further the particularities of each country and the
synergies between Asia and Europe. The articles for the Magazine
section are selected on an periodical open call basis published in the
culture360.org Newsletter
The magazine section is structured in :

highlighted the Asian film industry and its independent sector and
classified the rich information on European cinema, with the community
of culture360.org and provides in this way the most extensive
interactive platform for film makers and enthusiast from Asia and
