SCST continues visit to Xiamen (with photos)

In the morning, Mr Yeung met with the Sub-Party Secretary of the China Film Association, Mr Zhang Hong; the Deputy Director-General of the China Film Administration, Mr Bai Yimin; and the Director General of the Xiamen Film Administration, Mr Shangguan Jun, to explore opportunities for co-operation. He also briefed them on the Film Financing Scheme for Mainland Market set out in this year's Policy Address.

Mr Yeung said the Film Development Fund will launch the Film Financing Scheme for Mainland Market soon. The scheme aims to provide more opportunities to Hong Kong directors, let them have a better grasp of the Mainland market, enrich their horizons and experience, as well as to strengthen exchanges between the two places so that talented Hong Kong directors could bring more outstanding pieces to Mainland audiences and tell good stories.

During his stay in Xiamen, Mr Yeung also met with the Hong Kong Film Development Council members and industry practitioners from Hong Kong and the Mainland to discuss further collaborations in driving Hong Kong and Mainland film industries.

Mr Yeung will visit Dongguan this afternoon.
