One of Hong Kong’s most anticipated film festivals makes its return! From August 13-25, the Summer International Film Festival (Summer IFF) organised by the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) will bring a diverse curation of more than 40 films to the city across five cinemas, from movies making their Asia premiere to beloved classics.
Included in the exciting lineup are It Was Just an Accident by Jafar Panahi, Eddington by Ari Aster, and Ikeda Chihiro’s Kowloon Generic Romance, alongside many other new films released in 2025 from France, South Korea, Canada, Japan, Australia, the US, and more. Late director David Lynch will also be honoured with a screening of Welcome to Lynchland by Stéphane Ghez, a documentary recording the auteur’s artistic legacy.
