Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation 2021 in Singapore

July 2-4, 2021

Six recent Hong Kong films were featured in the Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation in Singapore. The film event was organised by the Asian Film Awards Academy in collaboration with Singapore's mm2 Entertainment and Cathay Cineplexes, with the financial support of Create Hong Kong and Film Development Fund of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore is the supporting organisation for the event.

The three-day programme has drawn strong interest from members of the public and film industry players in Singapore. All screenings were in Cantonese with English and Chinese subtitles. The six much anticipated films shown were "One Second Champion" (一秒拳王), "The Way We Keep Dancing" (狂舞派3), "Ready o/r Knot" (不日成婚), "Drifting" (濁水漂流), "All U Need Is Love" (總是有愛在隔離) and "Septet: The Story of Hong Kong" (七人樂隊).

Speaking at the Opening Night of the Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation, the Director of the HKETO in Singapore, Mr Wong Chun To, welcomed the film event for showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of Hong Kong's creative industry. Mr Wong noted that the six movies featured are a good mix of remarkable works by both veteran and emerging creative talents. He expressed confidence that Hong Kong's film industry will continue to grow and flourish, given the city's diverse and international culture, freedom of expression and a sound legal system that protects the intellectual property rights of filmmakers.
