Hong Kong Film Festival UK returns for its third edition from 12–28 September in London, presenting reflective, boundary-shifting cinema from Hong Kong and the ESEA diaspora. This year’s programme foregrounds transient and transitioning identities, exploring perspectives on migration, activism, marginalised communities, and gender, highlighting also the creative lens of women filmmakers. From dynamic contemporary works to intimate personal narratives, the festival centres voices that challenge, navigate, and reimagine belonging. Supported by the BFI. In 2015, five up-and-coming filmmakers came together to make an anthology film that explored their deepest fears about what the next decade might look like for Hong Kong. The resulting film was a sensation, winning Best Film at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards, inspiring a host of sold-out guerilla screenings across the city, and reigniting interest in Hong Kong cinema from international critics. Across its five parts, ranging from faux documentary to experimental drama, Ten Years (十年) explores questions of protest, community, preservation, and language, including an exploration of the role Britain might play in supporting the future of its former colony. Although many of its controversial predictions would, in fact, materialise only 5 years after its release, what shines through in Ten Years is its gentle optimism in the power of human connection and solidarity. On the poignant tenth anniversary of its release, Ten Years remains a defining production of Hong Kong's 21st century film industry. This screening is followed by a panel discussion. With support from Amnesty International UK.
