Following the success of four previous editions, Bridging the Dragon has held the first leg of its yearly Project Lab in Beijing this October. The Project Lab is an immersive workshop and inspiring think-tank for projects suitable for collaboration between Europe and China. 8 European and 8 Chinese projects with a clear perspective of Sino-European collaboration were invited to participate and meet with experts from both Europe and China. For more information and photos of the event please see here.

On 14–19 October 2019, Bridging the Dragon organised the first official delegation of the German film industry to China in collaboration with the German Federal Film Board (FFA), Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and Film and Television Fund Bavaria (FFF Bayern). The objectives of the delegation were to give delegates a sense of the Chinese film industry, to provide an initial understanding of the Chinese market procedures, to follow-up on the Chinese-German co-production treaty, and to facilitate discussions on potential collaborations. For more information please see here.
