2026 Golden Rooster Film Project Market to Showcase 28 Selected Projects

The 2026 Golden Rooster Film Project Market is gearing up for its upcoming edition, with organizers announcing that 28 high-quality projects have been selected for presentation. The event, which aims to bridge the gap between creative talent and industry resources, continues its mission of ‘making good projects visible.’ This year’s selection covers a diverse range of genres and themes, highlighting the evolving landscape of contemporary cinema and the creative potential of emerging filmmakers.

In addition to the project market, the event will feature a series of activities, including the Golden Rooster Short Film Season and the ‘Student Plan’ initiative, which provides a platform for young creators to showcase their work to industry veterans. The event is supported by a dedicated team of 585 youth volunteers who are working to ensure the smooth operation of the film festival. The organizers emphasized that the goal of the project market is to provide a ‘breakthrough’ for young talent, allowing them to refine their vision and connect with potential investors and production companies.

During the final roadshow, new directors and creators shared their creative journeys, reflecting on the challenges and inspirations behind their projects. The Golden Rooster Film Project Market has become a vital hub for fostering new cinematic voices, providing a structured environment for professional growth and collaboration. As the festival approaches, the industry is looking forward to seeing which of these 28 projects will secure the support needed to move into production and eventually reach audiences on the big screen.
