From October 31 to November 5, the 44th American Film Market (AFM) was held in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. The event attracted participants from over 70 countries, including producers, project developers, screenwriters, directors, distributors, actors, financiers, media professionals, and service providers from the global film industry. After a three-year hiatus, the ORI delegation made a triumphant return to AFM, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new partners, exploring fresh projects, and seeking new collaboration opportunities.
ORI presented animated films such as Return, Hockey King, and One Day at the event. Throughout the market, ORI's booth was bustling with activity, engaging in discussions with over 70 companies worldwide about international distribution and co-productions. The company signed dozens of copyright licensing agreements and reached additional potential collaboration agreements.
In recent years, ORI has leveraged multiple international projects to integrate global marketing resources and networks, strategically enhancing its global presence. This approach supports and promotes Sino-foreign film collaborations while creating outstanding international films. ORI's frequent appearances at international exhibitions have helped global audiences better understand China's animation film industry, public film services, and international cooperation initiatives. These efforts not only boost ORI's branding and influence but also establish a strong reputation within the industry.
The status of Chinese animated feature films in the global film landscape continues to rise, with increasing international reach, influence, and competitiveness. As a cultural enterprise dedicated to Sino-foreign film collaboration, ORI is committed to bridging cultural exchange and cooperation between China and the world. Looking ahead, ORI will continue to work steadily, strengthening its international communication capabilities and fostering mutual understanding between civilizations.
