The opening ceremony of the "Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey" Movie Set Exhibition, organised by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and financially supported by the Film Development Fund, was held at Kowloon Walled City Park today (May 23). The movie set exhibition will be open free of charge to the public from tomorrow (May 24), and will last for three years.
      
     The Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing, expressed in his speech during the opening ceremony that the movie set exhibition, curated and built by Hong Kong's film professionals, reappears in Kowloon Walled City Park. It is hoped that the exhibition, along with other attractions in the region of Kowloon City, will draw both local, Mainland and overseas visitors through different travelling routes in the region to experience the local culture and cuisine, boost consumption in the region, and generate economic benefits.
      
     Other officiating guests in the opening ceremony included the Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong; the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law; the Commissioner for Tourism, Mrs Angelina Cheung; the Chairman of Hong Kong Film Development Council, Dr Wilfred Wong; and the Chairman of Hong Kong Tourism Board, Dr Peter Lam.
      
     Following on the enthusiasm for the previous two exhibitions at Hong Kong International Airport and Kai Tak, the "Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey" Movie Set Exhibition is the largest of its kind and will last the longest. Created by the same team behind the Best Film at Hong Kong Film Awards, "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In", the film sets have been reconstructed on the original site of Kowloon Walled City, now Kowloon Walled City Park. There are more classic movie sets in this exhibition, with elements of local traditional craftsmanship and large-scale projection incorporated. Visitors will gain a unique immersive experience of the Walled City back in time, while being able to appreciate the ingenious creativity and dedication to exquisite craftsmanship of Hong Kong's film professionals. Details of opening arrangements can be found on the Leisure and Cultural Services Department website (www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/parks/kwcp/common/attachment/exhibition_guide_english.pdf).
