Dear friends, It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you on behalf of the EU and the EU Member States represented in Hong Kong to the 8th edition of the European Film Festival (EUFF). Every year, the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao together with the EU Member States and Switzerland organise this cultural event for the pleasure of Hong Kong’s film lovers. Our selection of 16 films will give you the chance to discover European cinema through the lenses of acclaimed filmmakers. The films we bring to you have never been screened before in Hong Kong. The EUFF is made possible thanks to the contribution of the Consulates-General of the EU Member States, Consulate General of Switzerland and our long-time partner, Broadway Cinematheque. This year, we also want to thank The Hong Kong Polytechnic University for co-organising with us. Thanks to all of them, we are able to bring a great display of Europe’s cinematic art to the silver screens of Hong Kong. Enjoy the show! Carmen Cano Head of Office European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao
