Organised by the ADC, Fresh Wave 2011 successfully concluded in December last year. The many events in a period of over six months—from local competition to international short film festival, from sharing session by renowned film director to the interaction among young filmmakers from around the world and the Closing Ceremony cum Award Gala—proved a veritable feast of films for young local artists. Besides, the event was also a platform that fostered improvement of standards and propelled development of local films.

Drawn from 656 primary, secondary and special schools across Hong Kong, the third cohort of Arts Ambassadors got together and pledged to put their artistic talents to good use and share the fun in the arts at the 3rd Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme (AAiSS) Recognition Ceremony held at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium on 9 July. With the fourth edition of the Scheme now calling for nominations, the time is ripe for participants and staff to weld experiences of the past and expectations of the future – for greater heights and breaths of the Scheme ahead.
