As the entertainment capital of Asia, Hong Kong is a thriving center for film production, boasting many homegrown movie stars, directors and producers who have attained world recognition. Local audiences are also treated to early-release Western movies as well as classic art films, and there is a good selection of special film festivals. The National Museum of China has selected the Hong Kong-produced film "Dragon Squad" as the first movie in its new permanent collection, set up to celebrate 100 years of Chinese cinema.
Hong Kong has pioneered many genres in the Asian movie industry, establishing an international reputation and attracting a worldwide cult following. Whether you're a film buff or just enjoy Hong Kong movies, make a beeline for the Hong Kong Film Archive in Sai Wan Ho for a fascinating insight of how the industry has developed over the years.
The world's audio-visual spotlight will be focused on Hong Kong in the spring when the key elements of the entertainment industry will be brought together for a month-long expo offering visitors some amazing insights.
