Remarks shared after Festival
"Hong Kong Short Film: New Action Express (NAE)
is a programme that really takes action to let young filmmakers in Hong Kong
jump out the carp gate.
Through this opportunity to go to a different country and communicate with
different people, I get to know more about myself and improve my works in the
future. NAE really helps and gives me strength to keep on the track to making
films! As the festival I took part in mainly focuses on Hong Kong movies, I had
the chance to meet several veteran Hong Kong filmmakers including Fruit Chan,
Herman Yau and Eric Tsang Chi Wai, and exchange ideas with them.. [More]
