Hong Kong Film Festival UK

The UK’s inaugural festival celebrating cinema from Hong Kong arrives in cinemas around London this week, with 16 titles themed around ‘Rupture and Rebirth’. We like the sound of ‘May You Stay Forever Young’, a tense drama about a race against time to prevent a young activist from committing suicide as a radical protest against Hong Kong’s controversial extradition law. It receives its UK premiere at the Genesis and the Ritzy on Sunday as the festival’s closing gala.
