The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society (HKIFFS) have announced the new dates for the 44th Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF44) which will now be held from the 18-31 August 2020.
No information has been released as to whether the new dates will also include Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF18).
In announcing the new dates Executive Director Albert Lee said HKIFFS had decided to re-launch HKIFF44 after the Hong Kong government began easing the COVID-19 restrictive measures, including allowing local cinemas to re-open.
“We are cautiously optimistic that Hong Kong is gradually returning to normal from the health crisis,” said Mr Lee. “I am pleased that we have not stopped our preparation since the postponement. The prospects of being able to bring back HKIFF44 to our audience are exciting. Nothing beats the big-screen experience of watching a diverse selection of films from around the world.”
The full programme of films will be announced on the 28 July with tickets going on sale from the 5 August through URBTIX.
