Hong Kong Film Archive

The archive is well worth a visit, even if you know nothing about Hong Kong films and film-making. It preserves, catalogues and studies the fruit of the local film and TV industries – there are more than 6300 reels and tapes in the vaults – and related material such as magazines, posters, records and scripts; there’s a small exhibition hall with themed exhibits (opening hours vary), including videos with subtitles, and a 127-seat cinema that shows Hong Kong and other films here throughout the year for $30 to $50. It’s well worth checking out the program of temporary exhibitions online. To reach the film archive from the Sai Wan Ho MTR station, follow exit A, walk north on Tai On St and west on Lei King Rd.
