EVENT DESCRIPTION

The Hong Kong French Film Festival (HKFFF) returns to the city’s cinemas in November 2023 with a large selection of more than 50 films. French talents including actresses, actors, writers, directors, and photographers are invited to come to Hong Kong for a series of events. This year we are presenting 30 new films, of which two thirds of them are Asia Premiere. The selection also includes two animations, four documentaries and a retrospective of eighteen films spanning across 70 years of French cinema. 2023 is a special year as the 52^nd edition marks the 70^th anniversary of Alliance Française Hong Kong, the founder of Hong Kong French Film Festival in 1953.

As part of the 70^th anniversary celebration of the Alliance Française Hong Kong, a special photo exhibition of Cinematic Pulse: In the heart of Luc Roux’s photographs (Le cinema au coeur) is organised during Hong Kong French Film Festival.  This photo exhibition will allow you to discover a selection of 50 photos taken by Luc Roux, set photographer for French movies and co-founder of Studio Magazine.
