Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the handover, the Hong Kong 15 Film Festival is a must-attend event for fans of world cinema, Hong Kong films, Far East films and mainstream audiences looking for a recommendation on what’s hot from Hong Kong right now. It’s not just a chance to watch films that are rarely shown in UK cinemas, in true Terracotta Distribution style, it’s a chance to meet actors and directors too, with many guests confirmed already.

The festival will have three sections; Currents, Review, and Classsics.

Currents feature new films such as Ann Hui's 'A Simple Life' and Johnnie To's 'Life Without Principle', which open and close the festival respectively. Plus 'The Bounty', from the team behind 'Shaolin Soccer', so new, it hasn't even been shown in Hong Kong yet at the time of writing!

15 Years Review looks back at impactful films from the last 15 years, such as 'Made in Hong Kong' and the acclaimed 'Infernal Affairs' which inspired the award winning Hollywood remake, 'The Departed'.

Third section is called Shaw Brothers Classics which we are pleased to announce is a double-bill treat of 'The 36th Chamber of Shaolin' and 'The One Armed Swordsman'.

This is an unmissable event for fans of Hong Kong films, serious cinephiles and those looking for a good entry point into Hong Kong films. See the link below for the full line-up.
