The Hong Kong Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (HKLGFF) - Asia's longest-running LGBTQ+ international film festival – is bringing a special screening of three short films from “Hong Kong Stories” to HKBU!
Since 1989, HKLGFF showcases a vibrant selection of feature and short films each year to inspire, entertain, and educate through the transformative power of films to reflect the diverse voices of our community.
This exclusive event also features post-screening discussions with filmmakers and special guests, covering important subjects such as gender identities, drag queen, and pedophilia. It aims to promote equality, and create a more inclusive and compassionate world.
