Online platforms boost cross-Straits cooperation

Microfilms, the internet and new media offer new opportunities for cross-Straits cooperation in the film and television sectors, experts say.

The past year has seen more young people from Taiwan seeking collaboration in these areas with the Chinese mainland, where the internet is rapidly developing, Taiwan Cultural and Creative Industry Association president Lee Yong-ping said at the ninth Straits Film and Television Festival held from June 17 to 19 in Fujian province's Xiamen.

Microfilms, for example, are inexpensive, and offer more dynamic marketing and distribution channels beyond cinemas, she says.
