Tokyo ETO promotes Hong Kong cinema in Osaka
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo (Tokyo ETO) supported the “Hong Kong Gala Screening” featuring the Hong Kong film “Behind the Shadows”, held in Osaka, Japan, tonight (August 31) during the 21st Osaka Asian Film Festival (OAFF). This year’s festival is also held in conjunction with the World Expo 2025 Osaka.
Speaking before the screening, the Principal Hong Kong Economic and Trade Representative (Tokyo), Miss Winsome Au, said that Tokyo ETO has been supporting the OAFF since 2011 and welcomed the opportunity to once again support the “Hong Kong Gala Screening” together with film talents from Hong Kong.
She underscored that as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges, Hong Kong has long been recognised as a hub of creativity and pop culture. Hong Kong films have touched global audiences with their distinctive blend of action, drama, and cultural richness. She added that cinema is more than entertainment; it is a powerful bridge that connects cultures and fosters mutual understanding.
Miss Au also encouraged the audience to visit Hong Kong to experience first-hand its vibrant culture and the exciting line up of mega events in arts and culture, sports, and entertainment.
Following the gala screening, the directors of “Behind the Shadows”, Jonathan Li and Chou Man-yu, joined a sharing session with the audience.

The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Tseung Kwan O Hospital (TKOH)announced a case of staff non-compliance and unlawfully accessing and leaking patients’ information. Subsequent investigation conducted by the hospital revealed that there were unauthorised access to a patient’s personal information (including address and phone number), and suspected that internal documents containing other patients’ information were improperly leaked to a third party without authorisation. The hospital was highly concerned and has immediately reported the case to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data. As the incident may involve criminal offences and violating professional conduct, the hospital decided to report to the police and report to the Medical Council of Hong Kong. The hospital will fully cooperate with the investigation.
The Hospital Authority (HA) has always attached utmost importance to the professional conduct of staff and strictly requires all staff to adhere to the Code of Conduct of the HA, safeguarding patients’ rights, upholding professional integrity and maintaining public’s trust in medical professionalism.
The spokesperson of TKOH emphasises that clinical records concern patient’s privacy, information obtained by staff in accordance with their post as authorised to use the Clinical Management System of HA should only be used for authorised purposes. Staff are prohibited to access patient’s personal information, as well as to disclose to external parties unless with prior approval.
Under no circumstances should staff use such information or records to obtain personal gains, infringe on others’ rights or for unauthorised personal purposes. The hospital will not tolerate staff accessing patient’s information for unauthorised non-clinical purposes and improperly disclose patient’s information to third parties. The hospital emphasises that such acts will seriously impinge upon professional integrity and doctor-patient relationship, and possibly violating the law, as well as professional conduct. If irregularities and unlawful acts are found after investigation, stringent actions will be taken.
