Successfully concluded last December, Fresh Wave 2012 brought to stage, once again, a fine selection of international short films and a new generation of local film talents. In this issue, ArtNews talks to the winners of Fresh Wave 2012 who share with us their creative process and aspirations. You will also find a review of various local and overseas cultural exchange activities organised by ADC, including the Manhattan Hong Kong Music Festival, the 4th Arts Forum for Cross-Straits, Hong Kong and Macao and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Creative Arts Festival.

Artnews Issue 14 casts spotlights on the ADC’s works on promoting cultural exchange which puts HK’s art on the map. It includes the Liverpool Biennial, the Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition, the Study Visit to Taipei and Fresh Wave directors’ participation in different international film festivals.
