This year, the Festival presented a handpicked selection of recent daring as well as successful films from Asia. Two Hong Kong productions were featured in the dedicated HONG KONG PROGRAMME, which was sponsored by the HKETO Berlin: "A Guilty Conscience" and "Let It Ghost".
For the very first time in Vienna, the Red Lotus Asian Film Festival screened the highest-grossing Hong Kong film of all time: "A Guilty Conscience", an exciting classic courtroom drama, written and directed by Jack Ng. The second film in the HONG KONG PROGRAMME, "Let It Ghost", is an anthology film that delivers three horror stories with a twist.
Speaking at the opening screening of the HONG KONG PROGRAMME, the Director of the HKETO Berlin, Ms Jenny Szeto, expressed her gratitude for the great collaboration with the Festival, which provides an excellent platform to showcase Hong Kong's rich cinematographic to the wider European audience. "I am deeply thrilled about this partnership, as I find that Red Lotus and Hong Kong are simply a perfect match for each other", said Ms Szeto. The Director of the HKETO Berlin also took the opportunity to invite the guests to visit Hong Kong and experience the unique East-meets-West culture under the "Hello Hong Kong" campaign.
