Cultural and Creative Industries

184.         Founded in 2009, Create Hong Kong and the $300 million CreateSmart Initiative will continue to support initiatives to facilitate the development of creative industries. To step up our efforts, we will inject an additional $300 million into the CreateSmart Initiative.

185.         We will continue to work with the Hong Kong Film Development Council and support the film industry through the Film Development Fund. To nurture a new generation of film production talents, Create Hong Kong will launch a First Feature Film Initiative to identify new talents through a competition on screenplay and production proposals. The winning film directors and their teams will receive full funding from the Film Development Fund to take forward their proposals.

186.         Create Hong Kong will assist in promoting Comix Home Base and PMQ, which are scheduled for opening in mid-2013 and end-2013 respectively. The two projects will foster the development of creative clusters to spur synergy and interaction, giving impetus to our creative culture.
