Asian Short Film & Video Competition
The ¡®Asian Short Film and Video Competition¡¯ section had 33 submissions in the Festival¡¯s first edition and 68 submissions, more than twice as many, in the second. It has now become a place of festivity and a door to the film world for future women filmmakers. Moreover, at this third edition, the section is broadened to encompass Asia. 129 films from Korea, and 31 films from countries such as Taiwan, Israel, Iran, Hong Kong, India, and Japan were submitted this year. It is not just the rapid annual increase in the number of submitted films, but also the continually improving quality, the abundant modes of expression, and the scope of media experimentation of the films that confirm for us the enthusiasm and energy for film creation that women have.
