HONG KONG – Asia's leading helmers including Im Sang-soo, Park Chan-wook and Hideo Nakata have seen their upcoming projects selected by the Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF).

The project market (March 17-19), which takes place as part of the Entertainment Expo and as an accompanying piece to FilMart, Wednesday unveiled a line-up of 25 projects that will be presented to movie financiers, distributors and sales agents.

Event also assembles new pitches by "Blind Shaft" director Li Yang, recent Cannes Directors Fortnight entrant Brillante Mendoza, Hong Kong's Pang Ho-cheung ("Isabella," "Exodus,") Korea's Bong Joon-ho and Thailand's Nonzee Nimibutr. From further afield, the U.K.'s Richard Jobson will present his Hong Kong-set "Bloodline," which already has commitments from Luc Roeg's Independent Film Co. and Wong Kar-wai's Jettone Films Production.
