The All Asian Independent Film Festival (AAIFF), is dedicated to supporting independent filmmakers throughout Asia and helping them find audiences for their unique cinematic talents. Festivals like AAIFF have direct impact on filmmakers careers and help bring global recognition to the inspiring storytellers of our generation. The festival will screen 32 films that are in competition for 8 awards, including “Asia's Best Independent Film 2020”.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, The All Asian Independent Film Festival is moving online and will be screened on secure online platforms for 2 hours every night starting at 8pm Manila time (GMT+8) between 18th and 22nd November, 2020. At the end of the screening sessions there will be a Question and Answer session with the filmmakers in competition.
“Independent filmmaking remains strong and unstoppable – even in this tremendously difficult circumstances – and we are honoured to be able to bring audiences films from some of the most talented indie filmmakers from the Asia-Pacific region.” Says festival President, award-winning film director Scott Hillier. “Even with no borders to cross, or passports to show, this year's AAIFF films will take the festival's audiences on a great cinematic journey.”
Tickets cost $15 USD and include access to all of the 32 films that take place over the 5 days of the festival. Check out the full programme, films and get tickets on aaifilmfestival.com
Once the health situation allows travel, the festival will be having a screening in the Power Plant Cinema in Manila, the Philippines.
