Film Craft Workshops
Aiming to impart film production knowledge to Hong Kong film students, young professionals and the public by inviting foreign experts in the film industry to share their experiences and techniques in their specialized area, the Asian Film Awards Academy organizes Film Craft Workshop in collaboration with different organizations and educational institutions. AFAA made the programme debut in 2018, and has partnered with Goethe-Institut Hongkong, Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, Broadway Cinematheque, Hong Kong Golden Scene Cinema, Hong Kong Baptist University and The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
The programme has invited German cinematographer Hans Fromm to discuss the special aesthetics of the “Berlin School”, Korean-Japanese film director and screenwriter Lee Sang-il to share his work on adapting novels to films, Singaporean filmmaker Anthony Chen to talk about scriptwriting techniques, Japanese writer-director Naomi Kawase to explain her filmmaking process, and Romanian film director and Israeli documentarian Avi Mograbi to comment on the difficulties encountered when filming in a turbulent environment. Audiences are able to understand different elements in the film production and post-production process, such as visual effects, editing, sound design and scriptwriting through the workshop.
