APSA Academy Sun Yat-Sen Bo Ai Film Fund
Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) and the Sun Yat-Sen Cultural Foundation today launched a new script development fund, the APSA Academy Sun Yat-Sen Bo Ai Film Fund. Exclusive to APSA Academy members, the fund supports a film project which demonstrates cinematic excellence and aligns with the Foundations Ideals: the embodiment of the ‘Bo Ai’ (Universal Compassion) spirit, promotion of tolerance, inspiring positive change and fostering the human spirit.
The successful recipient of the Fund will receive AU$20,000 and will be announced by Secretary-General of the Sun Yat-Sen Cultural Foundation, Alexandra Sun, during the 12th Asia Pacific Screen Awards in Brisbane, Australia on 29 November.
