About the event
The 28th ifva Festival 2023 Introduction
ifva was founded by the Hong Kong Arts Centre in 1995. Over the years, ifva has established itself as Asia's pioneering force in short film, animation and media arts, by providing a unique and professional platform for Hong Kong and Asian creative talents to unite, exchange and promote their works.
The 28th ifva Festival will showcase short films, animations, media artworks for five categories from different Asian countries and regions together with those from Hong Kong talents. Together with the VR Special Prize empowered by Meta, the works respond to not only struggles of life and death, but also heart-lifting daily episodes. Other festival highlights include the Media Arts exhibition "CINEMA 2.0: Illuminating Vacuum", a time-limited Pop-up VR Cinema, "We Need to Talk about VR" Conversations, creative film showcase by "All About Us" ethnic minority youth participants, as well as the solo exhibition of Lau Ching-wa Jess, awardee of the 27th ifva Media Art Category Gold Award.
