The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency and the Film Development Fund also provided funding support for the festival.  
 
     The Head of Public Relations of HKETO Berlin, Ms Stephanie Pall, delivered opening remarks before the screening of the opening film “In the Mood for Love”. She highlighted that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is committed to promoting Hong Kong films globally to raise the profile of Hong Kong cinema, as well as the creativity and exceptional craftsmanship of Hong Kong filmmakers.

     “Films possess a unique power to transcend borders – geographical, cultural, and societal – offering profound glimpses into the rich tapestry of human experience and emotion. We are delighted to bring the exceptional narratives of Hong Kong cinema to Brno this time, offering Czech audiences fresh and distinctive perspectives,” Ms Pall said.
 
     Filmasia Presents is part of the annual Filmasia Asian Film Festival held in Prague, Czechia.
