Eye Catcher Global 2025
Over the past year, I began teaching at a university and, together with Samuel, connected with 5 universities in total to become supporting institutions for this year’s ECG, including Academy of Film HKBU, School of Arts and Social Sciences HKMU, JMSC HKU, School of Communication HSUHK and SCM CityUHK. I believe that to truly develop the film industry, we cannot stop at good production or limit ourselves to encouraging creativity. To continuously nurture a healthy film ecosystem, aspects such as research and development, cross-cultural collaboration, project planning, and management are equally important. Therefore, we invite people from different sectors, like you, to join us on this journey.
At the same time, we understand that any change takes time. We are willing to stand in the role of facilitators, striving to provide the greatest possible space for visionary filmmakers to grow. That’s why we are launching the Eye Catcher Short Awards for the first time, opening it up to all of Asia, embracing short films as a proving ground for new talent and facing the impact of AI without fear. We would like to express special thanks to the twenty professional judges for their support.
In addition, we will be collaborating with the Singapore International Film Festival to curate more programs that nurture filmmakers from Hong Kong and across Asia—please stay tuned. Finally, thank you to the Eye Catcher team for your hard work; may everyone have the chance to shine.
過去一年，我開始了大學的教學工作，也與 Samuel 攜手聯繫了浸大電影學院、都大人文社會科學院、港大JMSC、恒大傳播學院及城大創意媒體學院共五間大學，成為今年 ECG 的支持機構。我相信，要發展好電影產業，不能只停留在做好製作，也不限於鼓勵創作。要持續營造良好的電影生態，資料蒐集與研究、跨文化合作、項目策劃與管理等都同樣重要。因此，我們邀請來自不同界別的你成為我們的同行者。
同時，我們明白任何改變都需要時間。我們願意站在推動者的位置，爭取最大的空間，讓有想法的影像創作者成長。因此，我們首次舉辦「奪目短片獎」，向全亞洲開放，亦不懼 AI 的衝擊，擁抱短片這個新人試煉場。在此特別感謝二十位專業評審的支持。
此外，我們也會與新加坡國際電影節合作，策劃更多孕育香港及亞洲影人的節目，敬請留意。最後，感謝奪目團隊的努力，願誰人都可發光。
