The Hong Kong International Photo Festival was initiated in 2010 by 19 Hong Kong photographers across several generations. The Festival focuses on a different theme in each edition, introducing noteworthy photographers, trends, and movements. Through exhibitions, lectures, seminars, workshops, fairs, and screenings, HKIPF bridges Hong Kong and international visual practitioners, and creates conversations between people and place, past and present, and oneself and the world. HKIPF discusses issues and perspectives.The Hong Kong International Photo Festival (HKIPF) has been organised by HKPCA since 2010. In 2011, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council honoured HKPCA with the Award for Arts Promotion. Since 2014, HKPCA has been financially supported by the Springboard Grant under the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme and since 2018 the Art Development Matching Grants Scheme of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
