Filming cum Sharing Session for a Micro-film Collection of Moving Stories, “Fall in Love, Stay in Love”
Ten moving stories inspired by the real-life accounts of the Welfare Council's child, youth, elderly, rehabilitative and medical service users were selected to make a series of micro films entitled “Fall in Love, Stay in Love”. Recurring themes in the series include aspirations of senior citizens, life education for young people and rehabilitated individuals rediscovering their gifts. In addition to documenting true-to-life stories the Council employees encountered in their line of work, the series also captures the wonderful connections between individuals.
A filming of the micro-film collection of moving stories, “Fall in Love. Stay in Love” was held on 1st August, 2016 at the auditorium of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, during which more than 200 employees, service users and their families who were involved in the production were among the first to view the series. Some of the key figures presented in the production were also invited to share their thoughts.
