Film Festivals

(Access via Alexander Street Press)

A view of Asian culture as seen through the lens of the independent Asian filmmaker. Through a selection of over 1,000 narrative feature films and short films, and documentaries, curated by film scholars and critics, the collection offers highly relevant perspectives and insights on themes relevant across Asia. 95% of these films are never seen outside of their own countries because mainstream distributors do not bring them to the global market, and/or the filmmakers lack access to global distribution channels.
