The
Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) 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, strengthening ties between the Asian and
Hollywood film industries. Uniting through cross-cultural
collaboration, our festival champions films from over 50 countries across
Asia spanning from Turkey to Japan and Russia to India. The Festival is unique in that it
predominantly screens Oscar and Golden Globe submitted films from Asia for
the Best Foreign Language Film. Since the Festival began we are proud to
have screened over 70 Oscar and 50 Golden Globe submissions! All films that participate in the Festival
will have a unique chance to be guided through the challenging awards season,
showcasing their foreign films to the Academy, the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association and all Guilds for enhanced exposure, media attention and awards
consideration.* The Asian World Film Festival is organized
under Aitysh USA, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization, and
operates according to the organization’s guidelines. *Note. We do not accept submissions.
However, all films selected to represent their country to the Academy and
Hollywood Foreign Press Association are automatically invited to be exhibited
during the Festival. |
