None of our films has age restrictions. Both Chinese and English subtitles are available for all films.

  1. Are the films globally accessible?

No. For copyright reasons, the film festival is only accessible for HK and Macau audiences.

  1. Where can I purchase the ticket? What are the ticketing options?

You may first choose your preferred movie at www.unhcr.org/hk/film , and then donate a minimum of HKD$80 to redeem a movie ticket. If you wish to redeem a movie pass for the access to all three movies, please visit the designated donation page for a minimum donation of HKD$240.

  1. Are there any other ticketing methods?

Audiences may also directly purchase one-off online movie tickets at www.refugeefilm.hk at the price of HKD$100. But the ticketing expenditure at www.refugeefilm.hk shall not be regarded as direct donation, thus neither donation receipt nor tax allowance will be available.

 

  1. If I have donated HKD$160/$240 on the UNHCR ticketing donation page, does it mean that I can redeem multiple tickets for the same movie or tickets for multiple movies?

No. Each donation amounting to HKD$80 or more (despite the amount) will be equivalent to the redemption of a single one-off ticket. If you would like to redeem another ticket for the same movie, please make another donation on the designated donation page. If you would like to redeem a ticket for each of the three films, you may directly donate for an amount of at least HKD$240 for a movie pass on the designated donation page.
