At present, the C.I.T. has two sub-units, called teams, each
of which has the equipment to run a completely mobile film/information
programme. This includes a number of coloured documentary, feature
and educational films.
"Hong Kong Today" produced by the Government Information Services
and Rediffusion's 'Hong Kong Focus" are available for showing to the
villagers.
During the past 18 months, more than 480 film shows have been
given in 320 different villages.
"The general reaction towards these shows is very good," the
spokesman commented.
"It has been noticed on many occasions that even people from
other villages come to enjoy the evening's programme."
There are still a few areas which have not yet been visited
by the C.I.T.
"This is because the New Territories occupy an area of over
360 square miles with more than 230 outlying islands," the spokesman explained.
Some of the villages are totally inaccessible by road which
means that the teams have to travel by launch or helicopter.
In view of the encouraging response from the villagers, plans
are already in hand to add two more teams to the Civil Information Team
unit in the forthcoming year.
