Hong Kong's Four Trails Documentary Screened in Singapore, Showcasing Culture and Ecotourism

Singapore ETO promotes award-winning Hong Kong film "Four Trails" in Singapore

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Singapore (Singapore ETO), in collaboration with the Singapore Film Society (SFS) and distributor KillerMud Films (KMF), copresented an exclusive screening of the award-winning Hong Kong documentary "Four Trails" yesterday evening (August 13) at Golden Village Suntec City, Singapore. Both the film and event showcased Hong Kong's vibrant sporting spirit, stunning natural landscapes and compelling cultural storytelling.

In his opening remarks, the Director of the Singapore ETO, Mr Owin Fung, reiterated the commitment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to supporting the development of the Hong Kong film industry and promoting its productions to international audiences through various funding schemes and talent development initiatives. The Singapore ETO strives to further enhance the global visibility of Hong Kong films and showcase the city's unique cultural creativity on the world stage through collaborations with overseas partners.

Meanwhile, Mr Fung highlighted Hong Kong's potential in ecotourism. He thanked the film for bringing attention to Hong Kong's unique geological and ecological features, including areas within the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, and reaffirmed the city's commitment to sustainable tourism and sports development. He expressed his gratitude to the SFS and KMF for their ongoing support in bringing Hong Kong films to Singapore audiences.

The event was well-received, attracting a full house of around 150 attendees. In the post-screening virtual Q&A session moderated by the Chairman of the SFS, Mr Kenneth Tan, audience members engaged with the film's director, Mr Robin Lee, sharing their reflections and asking thoughtful questions. Riding on the encouraging response, the Singapore ETO will continue to promote Hong Kong's rich and diverse narratives, and enhance international appreciation for its cultural and natural heritage.

"Four Trails" chronicles the arduous Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge, a 298-kilometre ultramarathon across Hong Kong's iconic trails, celebrating both the resilience of runners and the city's volcanic geology and coastal scenery. The film garnered several accolades, including the Best New Director award at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards (2025).

Dog Adoption Carnival 2026 to be held this weekend

The "Let's Go! The Pet Owners' Journey" Dog Adoption Carnival 2026, organised by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD), will be held at the Cyberport Arcade between 11am and 6pm this weekend (January 17 and 18). Admission is free. Members of the public are welcome to join the event with their dogs.

The Adoption Carnival aims to encourage members of the public who intend to keep pets, to adopt abandoned or unclaimed animals, as well as promote responsible pet ownership. The co-organisers of the Carnival include Cheung Chau Animal Care, HK Saving Cat and Dog Association, Lifelong Animal Protection Charity, Paws United Charity, Society for Abandoned Animals, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Team for Animals in Lantau South.

Members of the public can interact with dogs that are up for adoption at the Adoption Carnival. Dog keepers can apply for or renew licenses on site. The Carnival also features veterinary consultation services, a dog playground, a virtual reality gaming experience, game booths, an interactive educational exhibition, pet-themed handicraft workshops, as well as sharing sessions by representatives of animal welfare organisations (AWOs) and guest speakers. Participants are welcome to take part with their dogs. However, dogs entering the venue should be licensed (except for those to be licensed on-site), vaccinated against rabies, and microchipped. All dogs should also be kept under proper control.

The AFCD has been committed to encouraging members of the public who wish to keep pets to adopt abandoned or unclaimed animals through the AFCD's partnering AWOs. Upon receiving animals, the AFCD will transfer animals assessed by veterinarians as being in good health and suitable for adoption to partnering AWOs for adoption by members of the public. The AFCD provides free desexing operations for cats, dogs and rabbits adopted through partnering AWOs.
