2023 Short Film Program
AWFF is proud and honored to present its first open submission Short Film Program for 2023, where filmmakers from around the world can submit their short films for consideration through FilmFreeway, the industry's leading film festival and indie film marketplace.
The Program is dedicated to supporting and promoting filmmaking in Asia and the work of Asian/Asian-American/Multiracial-Asian filmmakers globally. Our mission is to showcase the diverse and talented voices of Asian filmmakers and provide a platform for their creative expression.
The short film format offers a unique opportunity for filmmakers to tell powerful and impactful stories in a compact and compelling way. By focusing on short films, we aim to provide a space for new and emerging filmmakers to showcase their work and receive recognition for their talents.
