To connect the film industry from countries across the pacific ocean is not an easy task. Many countries seldom have the chance to meet each other, let alone working with each other on cinematic projects. But since the Pacific Ocean is a vast space that not only separates, but also binds together through a similar experience with the sea, we wish to create space and opportunity for film industry professionals of the Pacific Region to connect and exchange ideas.

Based in Okinawa, we want to build a hub for connecting with Pan-Pacific filmmakers and film industries, to meet in Okinawa and collaborate with each other. In the future, we want to create a forum including pitching forums, filmmaker’s lab, youth workshop and artist residency.

The detailed information of Okinawa Pan-Pacific Film Industry Forum 2023 will be announced in September 2023.
