Hong Kong Week 2023@Bangkok
Border Crossings in Hong Kong Cinema—Thailand
Free Admission
Introduction
The Hong Kong film industry has a long history of border-crossing endeavours, striving to expand its market by reaching audiences beyond the city's boundaries. Since the 1940s and 1950s, Hong Kong companies have been collaborating with nearby industries, like that of Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian nations. Thailand, with which Hong Kong has had many contacts on cultural and commercial fronts, was a frequent collaborator.
To commemorate this meaningful cooperation, the Hong Kong Film Archive (HKFA) and the Thai Film Archive (TFA) will co-organise a screening programme which will be held in TFA. HKFA contributes to the event with a selection of five Hong Kong productions, including two co-productions and three Hong Kong classics dated 1980-1990 which served as inspiration for some Thai directors.
It is the hope of HKFA that, through this programme, cross-cultural exchanges between the two territories will be enhanced. A mini poster exhibition will also be held, displaying posters of the selected Hong Kong films.
