HKFF 2025: Another Home (UK Premiere)

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. Cheung Chau Island. A-Cheung’s food stall Ri-Tai has been a staple of the fishing village, bartering good laughs and grilled seafood with customers between the tranquility and commotion of local life. He shares a close bond with loyal stall regular Plumpy, 40 years his junior, and the two have conversed leisurely over beer, cigarettes and Mahjong for a decade by the sea. But as of late, the pandemic washing over the city leaves the island deserted and the community questions whether Ri-Tai’s simple way of life will vanish. Frankie Sin presents the warmth and daily life of his home island through his debut feature, winner of the Mecenat Award for Best Documentary at Busan International Film Festival. Also selected at Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, Another Home (日泰小食) is a carefully crafted portrait of societal change, generational memory, and localities of daily life with a humble food stall at the centre of it all. Reserve two tickets and receive a bottle of Hong Kong style chilli oil. The giveaway is supported by Sunli Chilli Oil.
