The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Toronto) (HKETO) supported the screenings of five Hong Kong movies at the 2025 Fantasia International Film Festival held from July 16 to August 3 in Montreal, Canada. The screenings showcased the vibrancy and creativity of Hong Kong’s film industry.
Speaking before the world premiere of “Good Game” on July 27, the Acting Director of the HKETO, Mr Gavin Yeung, highlighted the efforts of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government in supporting the development of Hong Kong’s film industry and strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a bridge between East and West for international cultural exchanges.
“The HKSAR Government actively finances the production of small-to-medium budget films, provides funding support for the industry professionals to participate in international film festivals, and subsidises training programmes to nurture young directors and film talent,” said Mr Yeung.
He added that Hong Kong’s film industry has been globally recognised. “Hong Kong boasts a rich pool of creative talent and is one of Asia’s leading filmmaking hubs. Over the past decade, our films and filmmakers have received numerous prestigious international awards,” he noted.
Also present at the screening was the writer and actor of “Good Game”, Mr Ken Law, who introduced the film before the screening and engaged with the audience during a post-screening Q&A session.
The other Hong Kong films featured at the Festival are: “Stuntman”, “A Chinese Ghost Story III”, “The Battle Wizard” and “Bullet in the Head”.
