Objective:

Learn to respect cultural diversity and minority people's voices through international short films

Concept & Content:

Documentaries often provide the space and power for different individuals, and especially minorities, to share their experiences and speak up about their opinions. As such, different communities with different cultural backgrounds can have a chance to listen to and gain a better understanding of each other. The current workshop, led by documentary director Fredie Chan, will invite participants to listen to the voices of different minority groups in international short films, and think about how moving images can help us to share personal stories and emotions in a strange environment.

Duration: 2 hours | 2 小時

Hong Kong Film Festival UK

The Hong Kong Film Festival UK, HKFF (UK), aims to shine an international spotlight on Hong Kong’s creativity and humanity through film. The festival also strives to promote cultural interactions and exchanges between Hong Kong communities and UK citizens. Hong Kong’s world-renowned cinema was born out of its unique history and rich social context. Building on this vivid and eclectic history, the Festival aims to introduce a new wave of Hong Kong cinema that has blossomed in an era of drastic transformation. It is time to tell Hong Kong’s story again, to preserve and promote Hong Kong's cultural heritage, and to reflect on the city's enchanting, complex, and challenging reality from a fresh perspective.
