The “Local View Power 2023” is set to be held at the Galaxy Cinemas, Galaxy Macau from 27-30 June, premiering nine local productions in six sessions on the big screen, covering documentaries, short features and animations, with diverse narratives and visual styles.
Since its inception in 2007, the “Local View Power” programme – organised by Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) – has provided a platform for local creators to showcase their works. Having commissioned more than 150 films, the programme provides financial support and invites professional filmmakers to serve as instructors, allowing a wider audience to appreciate different facets of Macau through the big screen.
Some of the films have even been selected for the themed workshops of the 1st Macao International Shorts Film Festival.
This year, nine local productions with diverse themes will be screened, including five short features: Person Under the Tree by Tang Chi Fai (Freshmen Level), Before the Downpour by Mak Man Teng (Freshmen Level), Hand Hand by Jarvis Xin (Open Level), General Parenting Test by Vitty Ho (Open Level), and Girl with Amen by Teng Kun Hou (Advanced Level); two documentaries: Enduring Grace by Catherine Ho and Jody Lei (Open Level) and Zound-Leading by Loi Chi Iong (Open Level); and two animation movies: Typhoon Tail by Leong Wai Chon (Freshmen Level) and Inheritance by Josie Ip (Freshmen Level).
The productions cover themes such as life, growth, birth and disease, offering the public a series of short features, documentaries and animation movies. Post-screening talks are also available in some screening sessions. Tickets for each session are priced at MOP 60, with various discounts available.
Tickets are available through Macau Ticketing Network and are available at Galaxy Cinemas on the day of the screening. For more information visit the ticketing website (www.macauticket.com) or contact 8399 6297/8399 6295.
