Taiwan upsizes 2025 TCCF Pitch; TAICCA unveils expanded November event, adds celebrity prizes
19 May 2025
Taiwan kicked off the 2025 TCCF Pitch today (Monday, 19 May), saying in Taipei this afternoon that the pitch has been “expanded in both scale and scope” in response to growing international co-production trends.
The sprawling pitch is a cornerstone of November’s Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), organised by the government-backed Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), which runs from 4-7 November.
Pitch submissions close on Friday, 11 July.
TAICCA is promising an increase in the number of projects and more themed pitch sessions, as well as the involvement of European and American institutions.
This year’s pitch is divided into two segments – Project and Story. The Project segment focuses on film and series. Story aims to uncover cross-media stories with strong potential for film and TV adaptations.
In 2024, the event attracted 600 submissions from 50 countries.
This year’s Feature Film pitch has been expanded from 12 to 20 projects. The series session involved 10 selections per genre, with a special romance themed session involving six projects.
The Story track almost doubles this year from 20 to 38 selections. TAICCA says this reflects “the surging demand for original content and IP development in the Asian market”.
TAICCA has also introduced a celebrity element, headlined by model and actress Lin ChiLing.
Lin debuts her own Pitch award, “ChiLing’s Future Makers Award”, for projects that highlight women’s issues. Three TWD 500,000/US$16,500 prizes will go to winning pitches in the Feature Film, Animation and Documentary categories.
In another first, Gold House, which supports Asia-Pacific content creators and communities, is setting up its first TCCF PITCHING Award this year.
TAICCA’s French connection remains strong at this year TCCF, led by France’s Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC), which returns with a US$30,000 prize for a winning project.
