The opening programme of the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2024, “ImagineLand”, will be held at Victoria Park on April 6 and 7 with free admission.

It will kick off with a performance at 1.30pm on April 6, blending elements of fashion, film, martial arts, comics, music and dance.

Singer Gin Lee will perform rearranged film tunes in a fashion show created by artificial intelligence-generated images. Three martial arts athletes, Lau Chi-lung, Lydia Sham and Samuei Hui, will take the stage in martial arts hero personas from Jin Yong's novels, demonstrating their skills with young talent in front of an LED comics backdrop.

The two-day ImagineLand features both daytime and evening programmes. "Gen S Concert", "Memory Lane" and "Funarts Corner" will be available during the day, whereas film programme "Movie Under the Stars" will be held at night.

"Gen S Concert" will run from noon to 7.30pm. Two stages - the Forest Stage and the Grove Stage, will be set up at Victoria Park's central lawn, where 50 singer-songwriter acts from different regions will take turns showcasing their unique styles.

"Memory Lane", with film sets, role playing and redesigned costumes, will offer visitors an immersive experience in classic scenes of local movies such as Kung Fu Hustle and A Guilty Conscience, along with ample opportunities for photo-taking.

"Funarts Corner" comprises thematic booths to explore and experience Hong Kong's pop culture in many different ways.

Celebrated classics will be selected for screening at "Movie Under the Stars" at 8pm. Once Upon a Time in China II starring Jet Li and A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella starring Stephen Chow will be shown on April 6 and 7 respectively. Visitors should bring their own sitting mats, food and beverages.

Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival is being held for the second year with "Arts & Action" as its theme, taking audiences on a journey through time to explore the charm of the city’s pop culture.
