Chairman’s word
“Music is essential in multidimensional film narration; a theme song, in particular, plays the key role when shaping film impressions. Hong Kong film music is evolving from time to time, from music genres to creators. Thriving by classic film music and songs, Hong Kong film composers have never ended their quest for new creative inspirations. By holding the Hong Kong Film Music Fiesta, we hope to promote Hong Kong film music to all over the world and mark a new chapter in the local music history.”
