Date: 15th – 16th June, 2023
The 16 shortlisted projects for the second year’s International Pitching Forum had been grouped into 2 categories: 6 in the Work-in-Progress Projects (WIP) and 10 in the In-Development Projects (IDP).
The 6 shortlisted WIP film projects ranged from personal journeys of the minorities, the undercurrent about our city and self, a reflection about Cancel Culture under the #MeToo movement, the mutual accompaniment under defective physical condition, and how shall the semi-mature boy face a sudden farewell?
What’s more, switching between Fiction and Non-Fiction, the 10 shortlisted IDP film projects coincidentally come up with the topic around self-identity, home and family under such an irreversible environment yet diversified community on various ways of diaspora and social issues. Is dying or leaving a kind of relief? Or will it eventually come as rebirth? Each of them brought their unique interpretations during the International Pitching Forum!

第二屆國際提案大會分為兩個類別——製作中項目（WIP）及發展中項目（IDP）——分別評選。
入圍的6個製作中項目裏，由殘疾平權先鋒到受爭議性別學者的小眾人物紀錄；在時代轉變中，摯友各散東西的反思；至親身參與拍攝反思 #MeToo 及其所帶來的取消文化；透過故事探索身軀變形的靈魂互相救贖；半熟少年可以如何面對突如的其來離別？
至於10個入圍得發展中項目，或是虛構、或是紀實、或是重疊，都不約而同回應著在這個不可逆轉的社會環境之中，面對離散、社會議題、成長、社區多樣性⋯⋯人們能夠怎樣去建構、回溯自己的身分認同、自己的「家」。死亡或者離去是一種解脫嗎？抑或變相是另一種重生？在剛剛過去的6月，大家都交出了各自的表述和詮釋。
