Brussels ETO showcases Hong Kong cinema at Dublin International Film Festival 2026
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (Brussels ETO) showcased Hong Kong cinema by supporting the screening of Hong Kong films at the Dublin International Film Festival (DIFF) 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, from February 19 to March 1 (Dublin time).
This year, DIFF featured two Hong Kong productions, namely "Four Trails", an award-winning documentary by Robin Lee, and the classic film "The Arch" by Tang Shu-shuen. A networking reception was hosted on February 25 after the screening of "Four Trails", for guests from the local cultural and business sectors.
Speaking at the reception, Deputy Representative of Brussels ETO Mr Kasper Ng said that with a unique blend of East and West, Hong Kong is an international hub with arts and culture, and its rich cultural diversity, creativity, and vibrancy provide a boundless source of inspiration for filmmakers to bring stories to life.
He also highlighted the Government's efforts to promote the development of Hong Kong's film industry through the Film Development Fund, and encouraged the guests to visit Hong Kong to experience both geo-tourism and world-class sporting activities in the city.
Lee, the director of "Four Trails", also shared his experiences of directing the documentary at the post-screening Q&A session.
DIFF is regarded as one of the most important annual events in Irish cinema, bringing together filmmakers, actors, producers, and other industry professionals from Ireland and around the world. The festival is expected to attract over 22 000 film enthusiasts through a mix of industry-focused and public events.
