All About Us 2017/18

“All About Us” now comes to its eighth year and continues to provide a creative media education programme for ethnic minority youths in Hong Kong. It includes a 3-day-2-night Orientation and Creative Camp, 1-month film production and a 3-day-2-night Intensive Production Camp. Through a series of filming activities, participants will learn from hands-on experience – write screenplays, scout locations, sketch storyboards, try their hands at working with a film set, edit videos and sounds, and discover how to tell their own story through moving images. Participants will learn from veteran film-makers and professional video artists to produce short videos. Selected videos will be screened in public film screenings!
