Mr. Fung Ka-ming , film critic, alumnus of the Department of Fine Arts and a curator of the I  • CARE Film Festival, said the event hope to show films of quality at an ideal location; with the aim of giving the films maximum impact. That was why they designed the first-ever outdoor screening at New Asia Amphitheatre and the central courtyard of Wu Yee Sun College. A special selection of 35 mm films was screened at Sir Run Run Shaw Hall—one of the few auditoriums in Hong Kong that could show them. Other highlights included an overnight screening session. Another curator of the festival, Prof. Chow Po-chung of the Department Government and Public Administration, said, ‘Twenty-seven films were featured. Eleven discussion forums were held, each attracting full house. We recorded a total of over 7,000 attendance. We are impressed by the students’ enthusiasm. Many alumni rushed to campus after work to watch the films with us. Our greatest achievement was being able to gather members of CUHK to cry and laugh together, and experience the wonder of cinema.’ 1 5 4 3 2
