In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Macao SAR, the Student Affairs Office of the University of Macau (UM) and the Communication Society of the University of Macau Students’ Union organised the second Video Shooting Competition. The competition attracted around 200 UM students, who created videos under the theme ‘City of Multi-culture’ to showcase Macao as a historic city that features multiculturalism. The team ‘See We’ won the championship.
Speaking at the event, Sou I, president of the Communication Society and coordinator of the competition, noted that video has become a popular means of communication nowadays, especially among young people. The competition, which used video as a medium, allowed participants to showcase Macao’s heritage sites, culinary delights, and festive activities using innovative and creative means.
The winning team’s video revolves around the protagonist’s personal experiences in Macao over the past decade and how the Macao Chinese Orchestra has promoted the integration of Chinese and Western cultures through Chinese music. The film shows how different cultures continue to flourish in Macao after the implementation of the ‘one country, two systems’ policy, and conveys a sense of cultural confidence. All the participating videos were uploaded to various social media platforms and together received nearly ten thousand likes, shares, and views in total.
