For the first time in Hong Kong, the ASEAN Film Festival 2024 will feature films from all 10 ASEAN countries! The festival is offering free screenings of over 20 films this year to foster cross-cultural understanding and to celebrate ASEAN’s diverse cultures. A collaborative endeavour involving HKAF, the Consulates-General of ASEAN countries in Hong Kong, and more than 20 local and ASEAN partners, the festival aims to inspire and connect audiences through a celebration of film and storytelling.
Around 10 special sharing sessions, where the production teams of films will share their inspirations and the stories behind their creations, will also take place throughout the festival. During these sessions, filmmakers, directors, and actors from countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand will engage with stakeholders and students in Hong Kong.
Post-screening dialogues with film crews and prominent Hong Kong film industry professionals such as the director of ‘Still Human’, Oliver Chan and the director of ‘Hong Kong Family’, Eric Tsang, will also be held to enhance cultural exchange throughout the Festival.
