ABOUT

THE FESTIVAL:

The Asian World Film Festival

(AWFF), now in its third year, brings the best of a

broad selection of Asian World cinema to Los Angeles in order to draw greater

recognition to the region’s wealth of Filmmakers and strengthen ties between

the Asian and Hollywood film industries.  Uniting through

cross-cultural collaboration, the Festival champions films from over 50

countries across Asia, spanning from Turkey to Japan and Russia to India.

 Our Festival is unique in its concept in that it predominantly

screens films from countries within the Asian Continent which have been

submitted to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and the Golden

Globes for Best Foreign Language Film.  Last year we screened 21 Oscar

submitted films and 16 Golden Globe submissions.
