Hong Kong Film Festival Starts Today

Trailer for Johnnie To’s Sparrow

The Smithsonian’s annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival opens tonight, co-sponsored by the Freer Gallery of Art, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade office. The films being shown this year range from light-hearted pickpocket capers to serious examinations of the effect of Hong Kong’s reversion to China on its people.

You can view the full schedule online, but I was pretty disappointed to see a total lack of movie trailers made available by the Smithsonian. I’ve done the YouTube legwork for you, because who are you kidding? You’re not getting any work done now anyway…
