This year's TCCF PITCHING attracted nearly 600 project submissions from production teams across 50 countries. The projects were evaluated by an international panel of judges from Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, the US, Germany, Austria, Indonesia, and Malaysia, who lauded the exceptionally high standard. Following intense deliberation, the jury selected a total of 62 projects from 21 countries, based on criteria such as narrative integrity, commercial potential, and the team’s international co-production experience. These selections will compete for a total prize pool of TWD 7.6 million — the largest in TCCF PITCHING history — comprising around 35 awards sponsored by private entities as well as international festival resources.
