MUMBAI: Jackie Chan will join MPAA chairman and CEO Chris Dodd at the networking event for the Asian and western film industries to be held at the forthcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on 10 September.
"As both a key launch pad for films in North America and home to huge audiences for Asian cinema, we think Toronto can be a prime meeting place for the Asian and western film industries," said TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey while announcing the upcoming Asian film summit.
Names of other guests at the summit will be announced in the coming weeks as Toronto continues to establish ties with the Asian film industry.
The Toronto International Film Festival is scheduled to run on 6 to 16 September.
