TCCF: Thailand Unveils Plans For THACCA Content Agency; Including New Film Festival, Funding & Export Drive
New agency for creative industries will oversee the launch of a new international film festival, funding for local filmmakers and an exports push.
Also on the cards are the previously announced increase of Thailand’s location incentive from 20% to 30%; and the introduction of tax exemptions for cast, crew and media companies; along with new initiatives for industry data collection and workplace safety rules. However, THACCA already has some pilot programmes, which were outlined today by Chalermchatri Yukol (Adam), president of the subcommittee overseeing film and series, at Taiwan Creative Content Fest( TCCF). Inspired by organizations such as Korea’s KOCCA, Taiwan’s TAICCA and France’s CNC, THACCA is described as an organization that “oversees strategic collaboration between the government and private sectors to create income and opportunities for the Thai people through soft power by using its cultural industries as a powerful tool.” It also oversees Thai creative industries including music, publishing, sports, games, design, fashion and food.
