 Le French May is an
annual event in Hong Kong organized by the Consulate General of France
in collaboration with the Alliance Française. It is now the
largest French Arts Festival in the Asia-Pacific region and has grown
to become one of Hong Kong’s major cultural events. Since its
beginning in 1993, Le French May has presented more than 300 events of
the highest international standard ranging across a wide spectrum of
disciplines that has included visual arts, music, performing arts,
cinema and gastronomy events.Le French May has grown from an enthusiast idea of a group of Hong Kong and French art-lovers, together with Mr. Laurent Aublin, who was Consul General of France in Hong Kong (1992-1996). Le French May Arts Festival aims at promoting collaborations and artistic exchanges between Hong Kong and French artists and audience. Le French May has evolved and reached maturity to become part of the cultural life of Hong Kong, an authentic artistic ‘rendez-vous’ between French culture and the zealous Hong Kong audience, local institutions, partners and sponsors. Le French May Arts Festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary: a crucial ‘generational threshold’ in the history of a festival.

faithful partnerships are a major key success of Le French May, by
offering the opportunity to a broader audience to discover and enjoy
the intensity of the arts. Le French May is always seeking to attract a
broader public, particularly the students and young audience. The
growing figures of audience through its 15 years celebration is
owed to an accurate selection of events as well as a strong policy of
affordable prices. This focus on the local community and the
young public originated from a strong desire to give the opportunity to
explore art to more audience, to extend the cultural dialogue that was
initiated by UNESCO through its ‘cultural diversity’
program. Not only
words, but concrete acts! Last but not least, if Le French May is one of the main French cultural rendez-vous in Hong Kong, it is definitely not the only one. The successful French Cinepanorama every December, organized by Alliance Française, offers a selection that attracts more and more audience every year. The recent participation of France at the Hong Kong International Film Festival has been a prime importance and attention. More and more events will take place along the year, in autumn particularly, such as the highly-successful exhibition ‘Artists and their Models, Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, Paris’ that took place during autumn 2006 at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. |
