The Asia Pacific Screen Awards will showcase the immense talent and cinematic diversity of a region covering one third of the earth’s surface and 60% of its total population.

The most prolific producer of cinema in the world, Asia-Pacific is made up of a number of diverse filmmaking communities telling their stories and taking their cultures to the world in rich and absorbing ways.

From Anime and the stylised horror genres of Japan, to the original thrillers, allegorical tragedies and comedies of Korea, the extraordinary tapestry of Chinese cinema, the multifaceted industries of India, the poetry and reality of Persian cinema and visionary narratives of the Middle East. From fledgling industries to those steeped in cinematic tradition, from the classic and traditional to the experimental and cutting edge, it is all to be discovered in the cinematic output of Asia-Pacific.
