Introduction 序言

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the EU Member States represented in Hong Kong and Macao, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2013 European Union Film Festival.

This is the fourth time the EU Office to Hong Kong and Macao and the EU Member States are organising the Festival in Hong Kong. And this year we are bigger than ever before, with 18 films coming from 18 European countries.

Audiences around the world have enjoyed contemporary European cinema and we want to showcase the very best of it to movie-goers in Hong Kong. There is a choice of acclaimed and award-winning films, covering various genres from comedy to drama.

We are pleased to share this unique cultural event with Hong Kong. It was made possible thanks to the contributions from the Consulates-General of the EU Member States and from our local partner, Broadway Cinematheque. Thanks to them, we can again bring Hong Kong film lovers a taste of Europe through the silver screen.

I hope you will enjoy the show!

Vincent Piket

各位好!

我謹代表香港及澳門歐洲委員會辦事處代表的成員國,歡迎大家參與2013年歐洲電影節。

這已是港澳歐委會辦事處及成員國第四次舉辦歐洲電影節了,規模之大乃歷屆之冠,將放映來自十八個國家共十八部的電影。

全球各地的影迷都熱愛當代的歐洲電影。為了把最精彩的作品帶給香港觀眾,我們悉心挑選了多部大受好評的獲獎佳作,其中包括喜劇及劇情片等不同類型的片種。

我們很高興能夠在香港與大家分享這別樹一格的文化活動。是次活動得以成功舉行,有賴歐委會成員國的領事及我們的合作夥伴百老匯電影中心的鼎力支持,令香港的影迷可透過大銀幕細細品味歐洲情懷。

敬請大家欣賞!

Vincent Piket
