Remarks shared after Festival visit

"The trip was really fantastic that I could have much sharing made with the people who love films very much – not only filmmakers, but also the citizens there at the Festival. The cultural atmosphere in Cork was really good! The trip serves a great chance for me to watch many films that we rarely get reach of in Hong Kong, I really got my horizon broadened and I cannot wait to start preparing for my new filmmaking project now." — Shared by Lam Chi-chung, director of The Launch, after attending the 53rd Corona Cork Film Festival in Ireland, under the sponsorship of NAE.
