World Film Festival of Bangkok's photostream

The World Film Festival of Bangkok has introduced quality, non-mainstream films from all over the world. It aims to become a showcase for independent films and new work from rising talents to cinema masters to show the continuity from generation to generation as a vital component in the development of the film industry.

More than 80 international films are screened at the festival each year, featuring works from the European Union Film Festival, Latin America, Asia and Southeast Asia and included short films, documentaries and animation productions - which are considered a new focus of the industry. There are several awards given to films shown at the festival and selected Thai short films. The poster design competition is open to both for university students and the general public.

Apart from film screenings, there are film-related talks such as Master Class Workshop and other special events. The festival, in co-operation with the Festival of Three Continents and Produire Au Sud from France, also runs a workshop to guide film producers seeking funds for their new projects. At the end of the workshop, the most interesting film projects in Southeast Asia will be selected to receive funds and the makers will be invited to the final selection in France.

With over six years experience, the World Film Festival of Bangkok has now become a significant film festival in Southeast Asia attracting more than 20,000 people to the screenings every year and is also attended by directors, film stars, people in film industry and the media from all over the world.

The organizers will continue to carry forward the spirit and intent of the festival's establishment. - that is to make the World film Festival of Bangkok a centre of international films in Bangkok, already famous as one of the world’s capital city's of culture and entertainment
