Get ready for the cinematic extravaganza of the year as the 20th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival (HKAFF) takes center stage, brought to you by HKAFF Society Limited and Broadway Cinematheque. From October 13th to November 12th, immerse yourself in the magic of Asian cinema as we present a dazzling lineup of nearly 100 films.

What sets HKAFF apart is its commitment to excellence, with a majority of films having been selected by prestigious international film festivals such as Cannes, Venice, Berlin, and Busan. This year, we continue our tradition of supporting emerging local directors by featuring their works as the opening and closing films.

But that's not all. The festival brings together an array of award-winning directors and filmmakers, including Yasuke Sakaguchi, Zeng Yingting, Chen Che Yikang, and more. Special screenings include "The Innocence," "The Lost Valentine's Day," and "Love is a Gun."

For cinephiles, this is a rare opportunity to meet heavyweight overseas filmmakers, including Song Kangxin, Guangji, Iwai Junji, and Dai Kangren, who will participate in a series of events and interact with fans.

Additionally, HKAFF collaborates with Taiwan International Documentary Film Festival (TIDF) to showcase independent perspectives and humanistic concerns through a selection of documentary films.

Mark your calendars! HKAFF tickets go on sale on September 30th at 12 noon, available at screening theaters, Broadway theaters' website, and mobile app. Don't miss this chance to celebrate the joy of cinema at #HKAFF2023.
