Eye Catcher Global

Originated from Hong Kong, the Eye Catcher Global (ECG) aims to bring together the creative and production communities of the Asian and international independent filmmaking industry, gather resources to incubate film projects with unique visions and strong personal styles, and facilitate Hong Kong filmmakers to go global. 

The ECG embraces diversity and disruptive innovation. It will discover and cultivate film talents and productions with a spirit of self-production and entrepreneurship, and will attempt to create an exclusive international platform for connection, exchange and collaboration. 

Through a series of events including the International Pitching Forum, Showcases, Panel Discussions on Global Independent Filmmaking, Hong Kong Filmmakers in Focus, the ECG aspires to incubate and promote more independent films with a wide variety of genres, such as drama, documentary, experimental, animation and hybrid works. It not only helps filmmakers obtain funding, awards and opportunities, but also introduces and facilitates the exchanges of experience and networks of international peers so that independent filmmakers may go further for longer. 

The ECG is the international exchange platform of the Eye Catcher Images project, established by the Renaissance Foundation Hong Kong. Eye Catcher Images explores new perspectives and possibilities in filmmaking, production and distribution through the Creativity Camp and Incubation program. The ECG, as the third stage of Eye Catcher Images, creates opportunities for international pitching, film showcases and exchanges, building close connections with the international community. 

Eye Catcher Global(ECG)以香港為出發點,旨在連結亞洲及國際獨立影像的製作及產業社群,致力催生更多別具視野及作者風的影像作品,並助力香港影像創作人走向國際。

ECG擁抱多元,鼓勵破格,發掘擁有自主製作意識及初創精神的影像創作人及作品,致力為創作人打造交流、連結及合作的專屬國際平台。

透過國際提案大會、展映、國際產業論壇、香港焦點影人等,ECG孵化和推廣更多獨立影像作品,包括:劇情、紀實、實驗、動畫或混合等類型。不僅讓影像創作人獲得資金、獎項或機會,也引介國際同行之經驗與網絡,讓影像創作能夠走得更遠、更久。

ECG是由文藝復興基金會創辦之「奪目影像」的國際連結平台。「奪目影像」探索影像創作、製作及發行的新角度、新可能,鼓勵自主製作的精神,致力孵化影像初創企業。在影像創作營、廠牌計劃之外,作為第三階段的項目,ECG提供國際提案、放映及交流機會,積極與國際同道互通連結。
