AACTA are Presenting a Special “In Conversation” with Liu Yi and Alex Proyas

November 23, 2017
Learn how the global film market is changing and how contemporary creators can make art across cultural boundaries.

Liu Yi, the screenwriter of global smash hit Wolf Warrior II, will speak alongside director Alex Proyas (The Crow, Gods of Egypt) at a special event moderated by Chinese-Australian actress and film producer Sharon Zhang (Crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny) on Tuesday, December 5 at AFTRS in Sydney.

The topic at hand is  ‘Filmmaking for a Global Audience’, which will see Proyas and Yi hold forth on a number of points, including:

• The Asian film industry, which is now the world’s largest film market;
• The Chinese box office, which will become the number one box office by 2020;
• Asia’s shift towards international casting and foreign destinations; and
• Working with cross-cultural cultural action and VFX teams to achieve world class sci-fi, action and fantasy.

This is a rare chance to get some insight from Yi, whose Wolf Warrior II is China’s highest grossing film in history and the only non-Hollywood film to be included in the top 100 highest grossing films of all time. Tickets are free via the AACTA website, but bookings are essential.
