All About Us 2019/20

“All About Us” now comes to its tenth year and continues to provide a creative media education programme for ethnic minority youths in Hong Kong. It includes an Orientation Day, 3-day-2-night Creative Training Camp, 6 weeks film production and a Screening Day. 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 their own short videos. Selected videos will be screened in public film screenings! For the tenth year anniversary of the project, we will invite a local director to co-produce a short film about ethnic minority youth living in Hong Kong. Please stay tune for more updates!
