Government-funded films flourish

********************************

     "Weeds on Fire" and "Mad World" scored 16 nominations and five trophies between them at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

     The two movies were supported by the First Feature Film Initiative, launched by the Government in 2013 to identify and nurture talent through a competition on screenplays and production proposals.

     News.gov.hk interviewed two beneficiaries of the initiative to see how they make their first films with government help.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (July 16) in text and video format.
