Speaking on RTHK’s NSL Chronicles III programme, Ma, a senior film producer and distributor, said clear regulatory requirements in the vetting regime after the National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance took effect protect filmmakers from violating the law by accident.
He said movies produced in Hong Kong in recent years are of high quality.
“I don’t think filmmakers’ creativity is affected or restricted. Their creativity is unlimited,” Ma said.
“Filmmakers don’t always have to address sensitive issues. And if they do, they should do it skilfully so they can convey their ideas without breaching the regulations or violating the law.”
He also said Hong Kong is hosting many international arts and cultural events, which are not affected by the security laws.
