Searchlight, a curated mentorship programme, will be presented in parallel with InnerGlow. Initiated under Tai Kwun’s Talent Development Programme, Searchlight carries the mission of nurturing the next generation of artists. Guided by a team of professionals including outdoor projection mapping specialist The Electric Canvas, multimedia artist Ng Tsz Kwan, and sound designer Roy Cheung, the mentorship programme emphasizes practical application enriched with industry insights. From concept development to the techniques of animating unique architectural façades, artists gain hands-on experience in creating immersive works using the latest projection mapping technologies.

Since its inception in 2023, Searchlight has admitted more than 52 mentees/artists, whose works have been showcased to over fifty thousand audiences. The historic Prison Yard will once again be transformed into an experimental workshop for local university students and graduates across creative media, film, and design. Now entering its third edition, Searchlight will feature new presentations created by alumni teams. It is inspiring to witness alumni’s return and elevate their works to new levels of creativity and innovation.
