The future potential for Sino-European co-produced films was a hot topic of discussion at a forum held by the Shanghai International Film Festival in collaboration with the ongoing Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.

Filmmakers from countries like Italy and Lithuania raised a number of questions about the Chinese film market, expressing their enthusiasm for co-productions.

Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is an annual film festival held since 1997 in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. It is the only A-category film festival in Northern Europe, sharing that status with world's leading festivals including Berlin, Cannes, and Venice.
