First ever live Audio Description service for "40th The Hong Kong Film Awards"

Collaborating with The Hong Kong Film Awards for the very first time, our audio description (AD) team from Information Accessibility Centre was honoured to provide AD services for the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony on 17th July 2022. For the first time in Hong Kong history, visually impaired audience were able to witness the yearly film event through the assistive tool of AD.

Thanks to the arrangements of the official broadcaster ViuTV and the 3 audio describers, Ms. Jacqueline Pang, Ms. Belinda Kwan and Ms. Stella Leung, giving live AD to the red carpet event and the ceremony, not to mention the support from our honorary AD service consultant, Mr Clarence Yang, we are pleased to set a milestone in the development of AD services.

We look forward to providing AD service to the Hong Kong Film Awards in future again, hoping to contribute more to the barrier free access to more Film or TV programmes for people with visual impairment.
