HKETO Berlin supports Hong Kong cinema to shine at Zurich Film Festival (with photos)
*************************************************************************************
     Supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Berlin (HKETO Berlin), two Hong Kong films took the spotlight at the 22nd Zurich Film Festival held from September 24 to October 4 (Zurich time). The screening was sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Film Development Fund. 
      
     Speaking ahead of the screening of the opening film "We Are Born Good" on September 25, the Director of HKETO Berlin, Mr Indiana Wong, highlighted the exceptional achievements of Hong Kong's creative talent and their enduring contributions to the global film landscape.
      
     "We are committed to broadening the international reach of Hong Kong cinema to Central and Eastern Europe. Hong Kong's distinct culture of openness and diversity continues to fuel our filmmakers in crafting extraordinary narratives that offer unique perspectives to global audiences," Mr Wong said.
      
     Following the screening, HKETO Berlin hosted a reception for distinguished guests from the business, cultural and media sectors, creating a lively setting for conversation, exchanges and connections around Hong Kong's creative industries.
      
     The festival programme also featured the acclaimed "Cold War 1994", giving European audiences another glimpse of the distinctive storytelling, atmosphere and cinematic craft that have helped Hong Kong cinema resonate far beyond the city's shores.
      
     Mr Wong also attended the National Day reception hosted by the General Consulate of the People's Republic of China in Zurich on the same day, during which he exchanged views with the Acting Consul General, Mr Jia Lei, on the latest developments and collaboration between Hong Kong and Switzerland.
      
     Mr Wong also visited the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich and met with companies stationed there to learn about their development plans and promote the advantages of Hong Kong.
