Taiwan Creative Content Fest Adds Spotlight Screenings for Buyers
International buyers flying to Taipei in November will have a new first stop before deal-making begins.
The 2026 Taiwan Creative Content Fest, known as TCCF, will introduce Spotlight Screenings for the first time, giving overseas buyers an early look at two Taiwanese titles ahead of business meetings at the TCCF Market, as reported by Variety.
The screenings are staged with Vieshow Cinemas at Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Nangang, in Taipei's Nangang district. They are timed to sit just before the market floor opens, when distributors and platforms shop for rights to films and series.
The first screening, on Nov. 7, will feature the film "April". The title was selected for the 2025 Tokyo International Film Festival and later picked up multiple nominations at the 2026 Taipei Film Awards, including best actress.
The second screening, on Nov. 8, will showcase the series "See You At 11pm". It is a co-production between Taiwan's Three-Giant Production and Singapore's Mediacorp, pairing a Taiwanese producer with one of Singapore's largest media groups.
The wider market is growing around those showcases. TCCF Market in 2026 will bring together 107 exhibitors from seven countries: Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, France and the Philippines, according to Variety. A total of 38 international companies and organisations will take part.
Exhibitors working in publishing, comics and characters, the IP categories that feed film and television adaptations, grew by 13% from last year. That section of the market covers books and drawn or designed properties that producers can option for the screen.
TCCF will also run its pitching showcase, where creators present unfinished film, series and animation projects to find financing and partners. Organisers selected 70 projects for the 2026 edition, as reported by Screen Daily. The November event is hosted by the Taiwan Creative Content Agency, TAICCA, the government-backed body that supports the island's content industries.
What makes this stand out is the order of play. Instead of trailers and meetings alone, buyers get full screenings first, then walk into talks having already seen the work.
