The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society (HKIFFS) today announces a series of special in-theatre screenings to mark the reopening of cinemas in Hong Kong.
The CineFest series will feature films from the previously cancelled 44th Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF44) and Cine Fan programmes, including this year’s Firebird Award winners.
Supported by Create Hong Kong and the Film Development Fund, all screenings will take place daily for five weeks from 30 September at K11 Art House in Tsim Sha Tsui.
HKIFFS Executive Director Albert LEE said HKIFFS would announce weekly line-ups and screening schedules starting today.
“Despite this year’s cancellations and disruptions, we have not stopped anticipating ways to re-engage Hong Kong’s film-lovers and to share our choices and discoveries with them once the situation returns to normal,” Mr LEE said.
To ensure public safety, HKIFFS will continue to comply with every in-theatre health measure mandated by the government and monitor the COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong closely.
Tickets for the first week’s programme can be purchased at K11 Art House box office from 11:30am on 26 September. Please check out HKIFFS’s official website (www.hkiff.org.hk) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hkiffs) for any update and programme details.
