Recently, we have discovered that certain accounts on platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Weibo, and Xianyu are publishing false information regarding the Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) without official authorization, including: peddling so-called festival working passes, fraudulently selling media quota slots, and opening and closing ceremony tickets.
Hereby, HIIFF solemnly declares: Seats for the opening and closing ceremonies, working passes, and media credentials are all generated through targeted invitations and official registration. There are no such sales, and we have not commissioned any organization or individual to sell them. We urge the public, media, and film enthusiasts to remain highly vigilant, refrain from believing such false information, and avoid easily joining groups of unknown origin to prevent personal information leaks and severe consequences such as financial losses.
It must be emphasized that currently, HIIFF has only opened the official registration channels for "Industry Guest Registration" and "Media Registration" via its official WeChat Mini Program [HIIFF Hainan Island International Film Festival]. Apart from this, any content posted by individuals regarding "media quota slots" and "working passes" is completely unrelated to the official festival and constitutes illegal activity.
Finally, we sincerely thank the media, the general public, and film enthusiasts for their continued love and support for HIIFF. All information related to the festival is subject to official announcements. Please stay tuned to the information released on our official platforms:
Official Weibo Account: @HIIFF Hainan Island International Film Festival
Official WeChat Account: HIIFF Hainan Island International Film Festival
Official Xiaohongshu Account: Hainan Island International Film Festival
Official Website: www.hiiff.net
For any behavior that violates this statement and harms the interests and reputation of the festival, HIIFF reserves the right to pursue legal liability in accordance with the law.
