Filmmakers eye further opportunities in China

Chinese companies and their foreign counterparts are eyeing cooperation opportunities to tap into the country's booming film market, executives at the Chengdu Fortune Forum said on Thursday.

During a morning session, Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, told delegates he was keen to realize his dream of bringing the finest technology and artists to China to create world-class animation.

"The country will be able to make world-class animation within a handful of years," said the head of the world's largest animation maker, which established a joint venture, Oriental DreamWorks, in Shanghai last year.
