The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (Brussels ETO) supports the participation of Hong Kong films in the 47th Festival des 3 Continents held in Nantes, France, from November 21 to 29.

     This year, the Festival pays tribute to two retrospective classics of Hong Kong cinema, namely "In the Mood for Love" and "The Arch". Complementing the screenings, the jazz quartet Flash Pig performed a special concert, featuring classic pieces from the soundtrack of "In the Mood for Love".

     Brussels ETO hosted a reception on November 26 (Nantes time), bringing together around 100 local guests from the film industry, cultural sector and local authorities. Speaking at the reception, Deputy Representative of Brussels ETO Mr Kasper Ng highlighted the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's firm commitment to developing Hong Kong into an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange through the dedicated Film Development Fund and the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency.

     Mr Ng also invited audience members to visit Hong Kong to experience the city's arts and culture scene, including a wide range of film festivals of all sizes, notably the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026, as well as the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market, which is Asia's largest film and entertainment content marketplace.

     The Festival des 3 Continents screens movies from Asia, Africa and Latin America and has featured film directors for the French public since 1979.
