50 Asian Film Festivals you must follow


Have you ever wondered which are the most important Film Festivals in Asia? Film Focus has selected 50 film festivals you can´t miss and must follow.

Last year Film Focus made some changes one of them was to focus exclusively on Asian Cinema. After a long and deep investigation on Film Festivals we were able to find more than 200 film festivals. Since then we have selected fifty to focus our attention during the year. There are festivals from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. From more commercial to more independent these film festivals cover a wide range of genres and topics. We hope the readers like the selection and please if you find that we miss a film festivals we will look into it.
