Organised by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society in collaboration with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels, the programme is financially supported by Create Hong Kong. Starting with Udine, it will travel to other European, North American, and Asian cities.
The Udine programme will feature eight recent Hong Kong films, screening from 24 June to 2 July. Joining #ZEROTOHERO , an inspiring biopic by Jimmy Wan on Paralympic champion So Wa-wai, and Sunny Lau’s #SUGARSTREETSTUDIO , a black comedy about a haunted film backlot, are #ONESECONDCHAMPION (by Chiu Sin-hang), #DRIFTING (by Jun Li), #HANDROLLEDCIGARETTE (by Chan Kin-long), #TIME (by Ricky Ko), #JUST1DAY (by Erica Li), and #KEEPROLLING (by Man Lim-chung). All films will be shown with Italian subtitles and feature virtual post-screening talks with the filmmakers.
