Special Programs are curated projects developed around a distinct idea or inquiry. Each program is shaped by a clear perspective, often led by filmmakers, scholars, or invited curators.

Unlike permanent selections, these programs emphasize time and context. Some unfold over a limited period, while others remain available as ongoing initiatives. Films are presented as part of a shared structure, encouraging collective engagement.

Special Programs reflect CathayPlay’s commitment to cinema as a living practice rooted in intention, dialogue, and sustained attention.
