Hong Kong will showcase a rich selection of creative and interesting prize-winning mobile films produced by local talents in the coming Expo 2010 Shanghai China.

The Hong Kong Mobile Film Showcase will be staged in October in Shanghai together with a Mobile Film Talent Exchange Forum as part of Hong Kong's expo activities to epitomise the city's innovative spirit and quality lifestyle.

The two events will provide a platform in Shanghai for talented Hong Kong mobile film producers to exhibit their creativity to international audiences and to network with regional film-making professionals.

The winning entries were selected from about 150 quality pieces competing in the 3rd Hong Kong Mobile Film Festival's mobile film production contest by a panel of professionals, including film directors, film critics, animation specialists and industry leaders, based on the work's originality, visual and audio quality as well as efficient use of the screen.

Industry professionals and contest winners can join the forum to share experiences on mobile film production and exchange views on the industry's prospects. Film directors will also be invited to speak at the forum.

At the contest's prize-presentation ceremony today, Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Rita Lau said the inspirations and creativity shown in the outstanding productions are clear testimonials to one of Hong Kong's great strengths - its ability to adapt to technology changes through a combination of originality and technical excellence, which allows the city to develop into a mobile-content production centre for Asia.

A mix of programmes, including exhibitions and promotions on the creative industry - spanning fashion, mobile films, movies to comics and animation - have been lined up for September and October to showcase Hong Kong as a creative hub in the expo. Click here for details.
