Established and presented by Alliance Française de Hong Kong in 1953, the French film festival is Hong Kong’s oldest film festival, and over the years, it has continuously presented the most critically acclaimed French films to viewers in the city. Whether they’re from the new wave period or the most recent blockbusters, the film festival promotes and accompanies the evolution of French cinema to Hongkongers.
