In 2012, the two, previously distinct, events decided to co-locate for the first time, sharing the spotlight in hopes of drawing a broader industry crowd. Organizers say that experiment was a success. The events attracted 3,917 buyers and sellers, representing 1,072 companies, from over 52 countries, who transacted approximately $3 million in deals, according to Reed Exhibitions.

ScreenSingapore, now entering its third year, features three nights of international film premieres and shares a market with the more established ATF, which is entering its 14th year in 2013. The events also host a bevy of industry keynotes and panel discussions by international executives, producers, directors, sales agents and talent.

More details on the events' 2013 lineups are expected in the months ahead.
