The 53rd edition of the Hong Kong French Film Festival (HKFFF) returns with over 50 films to enjoy. Organised by the Alliance Française de Hong Kong, this festival brings the latest and greatest of French cinema to Hong Kong audiences with 110 screenings across the city.
The HKFFF selection can be split into three categories – Festival Exclusives, which spotlights around 30 new films released this summer or during the upcoming autumn and winter season; Retrospective, which honours inspirational directors and actors across a dozen films from all eras; and On Design, which includes films and documentaries that celebrate French art and design, fashion, architecture, and more.
See different representations of the father figure in films such as Mikado by Baya Kasmi and The Quiet Son by Delphine and Muriel Coulin, while women’s quest for emancipation is tackled in selections such as The Balconette by Noémie Merlant. We’re also looking forward to the period film The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre De La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte.
Tickets to the HKFFF 2024 range from $50 to $110 depending on the screening venue. Alliance Française members can get tickets at a discounted price.
