During the golden age of the local film industry, filmmakers often focused on one thing and developed it into their entire career with their directorial styles. Nowadays, visual creators face changes and challenges—what attempts and reflections have they gone through, from starting their creative journey to turning it into a career?
The guests at this industry forum include filmmaker who was Hong Kong’s first generation who used home computers to produce independent short films, who used animation to express stories that words could not convey, who didn’t initially study film-related disciplines, and who recently experimented with new online platform projects.
From initial creations to continually breaking their own limits, learning and adapting are the keys. When the environment changes, it’s not possible to rely solely on past successes. Filmmakers must learn to adjust, transform, and even face things they once feared—such as public speaking or embracing new technologies like AI—approaching them with an open mind and a willingness to experiment and learn. Ultimately, the greatest advantage or challenge often lies in “being yourself.”

黃金年代的本地電影產業，電影人多個人鮮明的導演風格，專注於一件事，並將其發展成整個職業生涯。現今影像創作者面對變化和挑戰，從開始創作到將其轉化為事業，又經歷了怎樣的嘗試與思考？
這場產業論壇的講者們，有的是香港第一代利用家用電腦製作獨立短片的人，有的透過動畫這個媒介表達自己無法以言喻的故事，有的開始時並不是唸電影相關的學科，有的最近嘗試了網上平台的新計劃⋯⋯
從最初的創作，到後來不斷突破自我，學習與適應是關鍵。環境改變時，無法固守過去的成功經驗，而是需要學會調整與轉型，甚至面對曾經害怕的事情：例如公開演講、AI新技術等，以開放的態度去嘗試與學習。而當中最大的優勢或挑戰，或許從在都在於「做自己」。
