Pioneer of French Film Festival
As a pioneer in film festivals, Alliance Française de Hong Kong has screened over 1,600 acclaimed French films since 1953. The 52th edition
will continue to bring the latest and the best of French Cinema to Hong Kong film lovers.
How Did It Start?
Alliance Française de Hong Kong is committed to the promotion of French cinema since its establishment in 1953, the same year it organized
the first French Film Festival. That edition was the pioneer in Hong Kong, making it the oldest film festival in the city. Since then, the
festival has always brought the latest films to Hong Kong.
More Than 50 Editions of the Festival
Since 1972, in collaboration with the LCSD, the festival has become a regular annual event. The festival has screened more than 1,600 French
films, attracted a wide range of audiences from cinema lovers to the general public, including some Hong Kong artists and directors who had
their first exposure to French cinema at the festival.
Dynamism, Diversity and Quality
The festival always promotes and accompanies the evolution of French cinema, from the prominent and influential new wave period to today’s
latest films. Each festival is a new challenge for the team to bring you the continuing renewal and invigorating diversity of French cinema,
from first works to multi-awarded movies, making the programme accessible and truly representative of what French cinema is today.
