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.
