Hong Kong Film Archive
Collection of thousands of reels, tapes & scripts of Hong Kong films, plus screenings & exhibitions. The Planning Office of the Hong Kong Film Archive was formed in 1993 which signifies an ever closer union between the film industry and the cultural sector. The permanent home of the Archive, located on the waterfront of Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong Island East, was completed and inaugurated for public use in January 2001. The building is five floors high, with a total surface area of 7,200 square metres. Facilities include a mini-cinema, an exhibition hall, a resource centre, collection vaults and restoration laboratories.
The acquisition of filmic artefacts is a major area of our work. The Archive obtains its materials mainly through donations. Materials collected are filed and indexed before they are made for public access. To enhance public awareness of cinematic treasures, the Archive holds film programmes, exhibitions, seminars and publishes monographic volumes. As a Full Member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), we actively exchange with our counterparts around the world to keep abreast of the latest developments.
