Digital assets take centre stage at FILMART

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are pulling real-world assets into the metaverse and giving them value in the content-owner-driven world of Web 3.0. But since the metaverse is content-only and everyone can create items from scratch, or even virtualise real-world performers and let them live forever, why not go all-virtual?

NFTs help artists, firms and users create, own and trade any form of content online, including true-to-life versions of real people.

Build your own universe

Hong Kong has a long history as an entertainment hub, drawing talents, investors and merchants from all over the world – and providing a bridge to the world’s largest entertainment market in Mainland China. The digitisation of the entertainment world, which moved into overdrive as a result of COVID-19 control measures, is bringing significant change to the industry, and companies need to know how to adapt.

The online version of Asia’s premier film and television marketplace drew 8,000 industry talents from 81 countries and regions.

FILMART gets industry in focus

As Asia’s leading content-trading platform for the entertainment industry, the 26th edition of FILMART will continue to showcase productions from TV, theatres, streaming platforms and mobiles. Production companies, investors and buyers can use the platform to connect and collaborate through online exhibitions and business-matching meetings.

The entertainment world will spotlight on Hong Kong as a wide range of content goes on show.
