Policy Address

33. The film industry is a key creative industry that reflects Hong Kong’s cultural soft power. In the face of competition from all around, Hong Kong has to nurture more film talent. In the coming two to three years, the Government will collaborate with the film industry to run training programmes regularly with a total of 200 places to provide practical training or internship opportunities for frontline talent in the production and postproduction sectors of the film industry. Moreover, the Government will support 10 practitioners in the post-production sector in each of the next three years to further their studies or undertake internships overseas.

34. In addition to our continuous efforts to expand markets for local films, the Government will, from this year, organise Belt and Road promotional tours to countries with market potential, such as Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and India, with a view to attracting film producers to come to Hong Kong for post- production and location filming and production facilitation services.
