His advisory team at Hainan includes Elizabeth Lequeret, a critic and past advisor to the Berlinale, veteran film executive Barry Sabath, past Mubi and Astro executive Tang Leeyin, and Hong Kong-based critic Clarence Tsui.

Fantastic Film School tutors also revealed.
The Puchon International Film Festival (PiFan)’s industry program, the Network of Fantastic Films (Naff) has announced its selection for this year’s Project Spotlight: the Philippines.
“The Philippines have had a strong presence in genre cinema for some time, but for some reason, it never had outside exposure until maybe very recently. So we thought it would be worthwhile to show not just their films, but also the potential of the projects through this year’s Spotlight so they can hopefully find co-producers and/or funding at Naff,” says Thomas Nam, Naff managing director.
The seven projects in the Spotlight will compete for a total of $50,000 in cash awards and three post-production support awards.
