Hong Kong documentary ‘Four Trail’s which opened for our annual film festival Odyssey, the winner of this year’s Founder’s Award is qualified to run for 4 categories at BAFTA 2026.

‘Four Trails’ earned Hong Kong born filmmaker Robin Lee the prize for best new director and a nomination for best film editing swept at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards. It also received a special award from the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild executive committee, film of merit from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, the audience award at the 21st Hong Kong Asian Film Festival and the Founder’s Award at Odyssey 2025.

‘Four Trails’ tells the incredible story of one of Hong Kong’s least known adventure challenges.

A box office phenomenon and word-of-mouth triumph, ‘Four Trails’ (香港四徑大步走) reveals a side of Hong Kong rarely seen — where steel and glass give way to earth, wind, and endurance. Over 72 hours, 298 kilometres, and more than 14,500 metres of elevation, a handful of ultra runners attempt the city’s most punishing feat: conquering all four of its legendary hiking trails in a single push. The rules are brutal — no trekking poles, no music, and no sleep — only the raw test of body and will. With a success rate of barely 6%, every finisher becomes part of local legend.

 

Robin Lee’s documentary is a triumph and a fabulous Hong Kong story that deserves to be told around the world’ whilst Chow Yun Fat, one of the most celebrated local actors and internationally recognized added ‘Every Hong Konger should watch this movie’
