Warsaw audience to discover Heroines of Hong Kong films at Five Flavours Asian Film Festival

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Berlin (HKETO Berlin) presents six Hong Kong productions in a dedicated Hong Kong Heroines section at the 17th Five Flavours Asian Film Festival, taking place from November 15 to December 3 in Warsaw (Warsaw time).

On the occasion of the Festival’s opening ceremony, Ms Bonnie Ka, Acting Director of HKETO Berlin, appreciated the great collaboration with the Festival. “I am glad to share that the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Berlin has been a partner of the festival for over ten years now. The Five Flavours Asian Film Festival has always been a unique stage for outstanding films from East and Southeast Asia for the Polish audience.” Ms Ka stated.

The Hong Kong Heroines section was the main part of this year’s festival. The opening film of the section, An Autumn’s Tale, is an award-wining classic of the Hong Kong cinema, directed by Mabel Cheung. This lovingly told film is an iconic romantic drama, and a modern day fable that captures the notions of diasporic identity and myth of the American Dream. It captures a unique perspective on what it means to be a Hongkonger in a distant land.

“Hong Kong has always been a melting pot where East meets West, connecting people from different cultures. We are also establishing ourselves as an international cultural exchange hub” Ms Ka added. Hong Kong is mapping out a blueprint for arts and culture and creative industries development, nurturing a diverse talent pool, and upgrading cultural infrastructure to further enhance the relevant ecosystem.
