Event Introduction

If 2022 is an unforgettable year for Hong Kong people, I believe that everyone will not object? The fifth wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging. The citizens of Hong Kong have been fighting against the epidemic for several months, reducing public activities and crowd gatherings to prevent the spread of the epidemic. This year, Hong Kong unprecedentedly moved the July and August summer vacations for schoolchildren to March and April. Students and parents should be worrying about how to arrange the "summer vacation" program. With the continued support of FILA KIDS, which received its full support last year, the Hong Kong Children's International Film Festival (KIFF) officially announced today that the 6th Hong Kong Kids International Film Festival (KIFF), originally scheduled to be held in July 2022 Changed to KIFF 2022 Online and held in April.

As the name suggests, this year's film festival will be held online. Of course, we will not forget our original intention and carry out KIFF's vision. We hope that by providing children and young people with opportunities to enjoy different types of films, they will enrich their understanding of culture, arts and creative media. ; and imagination of the world, thereby cultivating his interest in film. KIFF has teamed up with this year's technology and media partner MOVIE6 to produce "KIFF 2022 Online". This year, MOVIE6 specially provides KIFF with its own free online streaming service, providing more opportunities for organizations that have been unable to hold physical film festivals in recent years due to environmental factors.

Unfortunately, due to the venue and time, it was not possible to add additional screenings. Online's opening film, at this moment, will the audience have a different mood after watching it again? I also hope that friends who missed last year can make up for their regrets this year; the closing film is produced by the "Hong Kong Children's Chuang Education Charity Fund"; Zuman, Chen Yuchen, Huang Zile, starring in the Hong Kong film "The Voice", the story tells about children's emotional problems, hoping to awaken parents to pay attention to children's emotional diseases.
