Renowned film makers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan gathered at UIC on 8 May to launch the nine-day 24 Frames and Creative Media Festival.

This university student film festival received entries from more than 300 students of more than 50 universities at home and abroad. Nine awards were presented in recognition of excellence and innovation at the opening ceremony.

According to UIC President Prof Ng Ching-Fai, the influence of the festival is increasing. It establishes a platform for “students from various backgrounds to exchange ideas and broaden horizons.”
