The Hong Kong Festival is back!

8th July 2010

Returning in August to the Newmarket area for the second year, this annual celebration of the vibrant Hong Kong arts, culture and cuisine will explode your senses. As a sequel to our successful film festival event in 2009, we have lined up an exciting selection of the latest Hong Kong blockbusters for this year, showcasing the best of the Hong Kong cinema.

“We are very excited to announce that we will be the official New Zealand premiere for City Under Siege,” says Raymond Suen, Festival Director of Hong Kong Festival 2010, “the same day as its Hong Kong premiere, in fact 4 hours ahead of Hong Kong!

“There's more!” Suen continues. “The Hong Kong Festival is the place to be at to truly experience the Hong Kong culture. If it is something fresh you are after, we have a photography display exploring various Hong Kong facets and scenes. With a tasteful selection of visual arts, the exhibition will bring a new perspective of Hong Kong. Join us to celebrate the vibrant arts, culture and cuisine of Hong Kong!”
