Hong Kong films take centre stage in Sweden

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London (London ETO) is supporting the Asian Film Festival in presenting 10 screenings of three Hong Kong films across six cities in Sweden, highlighting Hong Kong's dynamic film industry and its role as a hub for cultural exchanges. To celebrate the occasion, a Hong Kong-style dessert tasting session was held on October 9 (Stockholm time) in Stockholm ahead of the screening of "Little Red Sweet", welcoming over 80 guests from the local community.

Speaking at the event, the Director-General of the London ETO, Miss Fiona Chau, highlighted Hong Kong's unique role as a vibrant East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges as underpinned by the National 14th Five-Year Plan.

Miss Chau added, "Hong Kong cinema has long been recognised as the 'Hollywood of the East'. Each of our films reflects the creativity of Hong Kong filmmakers, who draw inspiration from the city's energy and cultural richness to create art that speaks to the world. With the support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency and the Film Development Fund, we are committed to further enhancing the international presence of Hong Kong cinema."

Running from October 1 to 19, the Hong Kong session of the Asian Film Festival is taking place in six Swedish cities, namely Stockholm, Falun, Linköping, Malmö, Norrköping and Uppsala. Featured Hong Kong films include "Little Red Sweet", "Montages of a Modern Motherhood", and "The Last Dance".
