ince 2011, Hong Kong’s well–established FILMART has been the host for European Film Promotion’s (EFP) European Pavilion – a pan-European umbrella booth for Europe’s sales companies and EFP member organisations.

The FILMART works as an important hub for sales to Asian countries and is regarded as a bridge between the East and West, focusing on China as a main business partner. It is at the European Pavilion where Asia’s industry has the opportunity to get to know recent developments in feature films, documentaries, animation and children’s films from all over Europe.

The European Pavilion offers services to 24 attending European sales agents this year who do business on behalf of European cinema. Thanks to the backing of Creative Europe MEDIA and the generous financial contribution of German Films, the Danish Film Institute and Istituto Luce Cinecittà, the European Pavilion was increased to 72 square meters this year with a designated area for German sales companies.

Attack Of The Lederhosenzombies, 2016

by Dominik Hartl (Austria); Zombie, Comedy (90’) Original Language: English; Dubbed Versions: German Synopsis: Steve, a young professional snowboarder, ruins a high-paying photo shoot by playing a silly prank. He, his girlfriend Branka and fellow snowboarder Joschi are left behind on the mountain. They seek shelter in an après-ski tavern that is hosting an all-night party. Things go from bad to worse when a scientific experiment unleashes an epidemic of zombies and mutant wildlife. This is mostly lost on the local drunkards, as they are not always easy to distinguish from zombies themselves.

But Steve, Branka and Joschi have to find a way to survive this hellish night.

CHRIS HOWARD

The Yellow Affair is a world sales agent and executive producer for films. After 6 years, in today’s complicated and volatile film market, the Yellow Affair boasts a proven track record and has a growing reputation in areas of development, financing, marketing and selling films of all types and genres.

The Yellow Affair is developing new relationships with various financial entities and building new strategies that will enable the company to contribute significantly to getting films into production. Our ultimate goal is to identify and acquire commercially viable films, establishing early involvement with producers, and eventually taking these films into the world-wide market, gaining wide distribution in all windows (Theatrical/ Video-DVD/ Pay and Free TV/ Ancillary/ Digital Rights) and monetizing the film as much as possible. Our core concept is simple: ‘the better business we do with a film, the more people around the world will see it, and appreciate it.’
