AFP will have star billing at this year’s Hong Kong Film Festival, with top journalists from the Agency joining post-screening discussions and a photo exhibition by prize-winning photographer Yasuyoshi Chiba displayed throughout the event.
The 49th edition of the festival, organized by the Alliance Française, runs from 25 November to 15 December and features 40 films that will be screened online and in cinemas. The selection includes a focus on journalists in war zones and will feature panels with speakers from AFP and the directors of the films.

AFP Asia-Pacific director Philippe Massonnet will examine the safety challenges facing war correspondents at the showing of “Camille”, a portrait of journalist Camille Lepage who was killed in the Central Africa republic.
And prize winning Hong Kong photographer Anthony Wallace will be featured in conversation after the showing of “Looking for Gilles Caron” that tells the story of the photojournalist who went missing in Cambodia in 1970.
