******************************************************************************************
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).
