Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to preserve and promote the deep cinematic roots of Hong Kong by making them accessible to everyone. From the nostalgic glow of 1970s kung fu hits to the modern sophistication of today’s blockbusters, Hong Kong cinema deserves to be explored, appreciated, and remembered.
We want to build a space where both casual viewers and die-hard cinephiles can learn something new, feel a sense of connection, and leave with a greater appreciation for Hong Kong film. Through consistent research and passion for the topic, we hope to become the go-to guide for anyone interested in this important piece of global film culture.
