Remarks shared after Festival visit

"I'm much honored to have been involved in the festival, I really like the atmosphere and the independent film culture in Italy. It was also surprising to know that there are quite a lot of Italian audience that are familiar with Asian films. I even got to know some Italian die-hard fans towards Hong Kong films, which was very interesting. I met some Italian reporters, the organizers of this festival and also some of the Hong Kong directors who have their films screened. It was enriching and I got to learn about the passion of Italian people towards films. "

"I'm really grateful to have NAE sponsoring my trip to Five Flavours Film Festival. Not only I could take part in the festival screening, I also got to know more about the Polish culture, and had exchange with filmmakers around the world. I can also tell the passion of Polish people for independent film by the massive crowded in the late night screening and the deep questions they asked. Moreover, I bumped into Roger Lee, who produced a lot of Ann Hui’s movies, and also some other filmmakers from countries like Japan and Bhutan. Through their sharing, I am able to know more about their culture in producing film. I'm happy that I got this chance from Freshwave, also got the funding from NAE to support me going to this trip.
