Chinese martial arts come in a wide array of sophisticated and profound forms. Many of them have been presented cinematically while the fist skills and footwork routines featured in the films did impress so many of us. The series of “ICH Extraordinary: Chinese Martial Arts and Film” will discuss kung fu in the Hong Kong’s films, reveal the diversity of Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and showcase the “Arts and Action” of the Hong Kong Pop Culture.    

​The programme is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has all along promoted Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public learn more about broad and profound Chinese culture.
