HK to Hold Its Largest film Festival in TokyoA total of 16 Hong Kong movies will be shown in what can be described as the largest Hong Kong Film Festival ever to be held in Japan.Announcing this at a press conference in Tokyo Thursday, Principal Hong Kong Economic and Trade Representative (Tokyo), Cheung Man-yee, said the film festival would enable the Japanese audience to know more about Hong Kong movies, one of the most popular forms of culture in Hong Kong. "This will in turn help further promote the already increasing trend of cultural exchanges between the two places," she said. She said that with Hong Kong's unique cultural heritage which blends the best of the East and the West, the local film industry produced world-class masterpieces, brilliant stars and talented directors in the 1980's and 1990's. The Hong Kong Film Festival in Tokyo is being organized as part of the prestigious 13th Tokyo International Film Festival. It will run from October 28 to November 3 this year. |
