CinemAsia Film Festival

A fresh look at CinemAsia's legacy

The new edition in 2025 reflects CinemAsia��s continued commitment over the past 20 years to continually reinvent itself to showcase the diversity of stories from Asia and its diaspora on the big screen.

The festival focuses on innovation and refinement of its programming, which reflects the changing dynamics in the film industry with a stimulating offering that challenges the audience to embrace new perspectives.

The diverse film programme includes the following components:

• New Visions: A platform for groundbreaking debut films by emerging Asian filmmakers.
• Horizons: A window into the diversity of contemporary Asian cinema, from blockbusters to experimental and independent productions.
• Pioneers: A tribute to iconic filmmakers and restored classics that shaped Asian film history.
• Short Films: A selection of compact yet powerful stories, compiled in collaboration with international curators.

Besides the film programme, visitors can look forward to additional activities such as CinemAsia PRO, a platform for emerging filmmakers and industry professionals.

Also returning are the Queer Nongkrong, a community space for queer community, and the bustling Food Market with a tasty array of Asian dishes. The popular Karaoke Night promises to be another festive evening, full of pop classics and cultural hits that will bring Jan and Jan together.
