Not the same thing, but interconnected. Index Market is the permissioned online discovery and request layer for indexed assets — not an e-commerce store. The Hong Kong AI Film Market is the Association's year-round industry service for matchmaking and transactions, with festival week as its concentrated activity period. Index Market →

Permissions depend on the specific use. Festival review permission does not grant partners public screening or personal-data rights. Provide the proposed works, venue, timing, audience, charges and publicity plan so the authorised parties can confirm permission. Private contact details are not a partnership benefit; the official team can facilitate appropriate introductions.

Use the 2027 hub, official seven award names and document centre. Keep the year on 2026 award names and film images; do not imply they are 2027 results. Use published press-room assets within their stated scope and confirm other uses of film stills, excerpts or third-party marks separately. Link reporting to the specific official page, not only the homepage.
