In October, the grand opening of the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre (CMC) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has ushered in a new era for creative media in Asia. The event kicked off a six-month festival of events to entertain, inform, inspire and express the excitement of this momentous occasion in terms that are aesthetically and conceptually adventurous, said Professor Jeffrey Shaw, Dean of the School of Creative Media and Festival Director.
Situated on Tat Hong Avenue in Kowloon Tong, the CMC is a nine-storey complex with study space, staff offices, student/staff amenities and supporting facilities, laboratories and theatres, and advanced audio-visual equipment.
According to the world-famous architect Daniel Libeskind, who designed CMC, the unique building exterior captures the creative spirit and intensity of Hong Kong. Within, it provides a stimulating environment and meeting point for creative media professionals from around the world and for student-staff interactions, inter-disciplinary collaborations and synergies with industry.
