Spotlight on the Hong Kong Film Industry
The HKTDC is organising the Hong Kong Pavilion once again at the Marché du Film to promote Hong Kong’s vibrant and creative film industry to international markets, further strengthening Hong Kong’s role as Asia’s entertainment hub.

Apart from these titles, the Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum will also showcase their selected “Work-in-Progress” projects at the “HAF goes to Cannes” screening.
Value-added Services

Two dim sum receptions will be held at the business centre, starting at 6pm on 10 May and 11 May, offering networking opportunities for invited film industry professionals.
FILMART Follow-up
The Hong Kong Pavilion in Cannes is an ideal setting for Hong Kong industry players to pursue business leads with international contacts made earlier in the year at the HKTDC Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART). The 22nd FILMART, which was held from 19-22 March this year, featured more than 850 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, and attracted more than 8,700 visitors from around the world.
Through the pavilion at Cannes, the HKTDC promotes both Hong Kong’s film industry and next year’s FILMART which returns to Hong Kong on 18-21 March 2019.
