The I SHOT HONG KONG Film Festival started in 2005 with just three films by three frustrated film-makers. Today, its mission is to shake up the film industry in Hong Kong by recognising new independent film-making talent and by providing platforms for the work of new filmmakers to be shown. Event organiser, Ocean Vista Films, aims to help new film makers develop their skills; provide them with career opportunities; and help them to receive recognition for their work.
Ocean Vista Films also works in partnership with overseas festivals and organisations to secure wider audiences for the I SHOT HONG KONG content as well as showcasing content from overseas.
