Perhaps Love takes home Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Queens International Film Festival
Lavish musical romantic drama rallies support in pre-Oscars move

Peter Ho-Sun Chan’s new film Perhaps Love was voted the Best Foreign Language Film on the closing night of the third annual Queens International Film Festival (QIFF), which took place in New York from November 17th to 20th. Perhaps Love competed against four other international entries in the Best Foreign Language Film category, including India’s Paheli, Turkey’s Lovelorn, Croatia’s A Wonderful Night In Split and Fiji’s The Land has Eyes.

Funded by Astro-Shaw and TVB, and distributed worldwide by Celestial Pictures, Perhaps Love is a Morgan & Chan production and will be in general theatrical release from early December across China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

The audience at QIFF’s closing night included industry figures, New York critics, and members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Since 2003, QIFF has been showcasing entries for Oscar’s® Best Foreign Films from different countries, and informally seen as a thermometer for the race for the Academy Awards’® Best Foreign Film nomination.
