Hong Kong has long been a city in love with the magic of cinema, and Broadway Cinematheque is one of the most popular venues in town for film fans to satisfy their appetites for international indies. The art house cinema was opened in 1996 in Yau Ma Tei, a historical neighborhood that’s no stranger to film crews.

It became a local cultural landmark when it began hosting a series of film festivals, including the Asian Film Festival, Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, and Korean Film Festival. It also offers retrospective programs that introduce great filmmakers such as François Truffaut, Yamada Yoji, and Krzysztof Kieślowski to a new generation of cinephiles.

Broadway Cinematheque also houses a café, bookstore, and DVD store.
