Asian Film Festival Barcelona, 2020. Barcelona | October 28 – December 8, 2020

The new edition of Asian Film Festival Barcelonand | AFFBCN 2020 will feature an extensive program of films, meetings, and dialogues, with the aim of contributing to the understanding of cinematographic forms that are not as widely represented as others in commercial circles. As in previous editions, we will feature more than 120 feature films from a vast territory, stretching from Central Asia to Southeast Asia and from there to the Asia-Pacific region. This will allow us to explore productions from more than 2018 countries, from Iran and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, to Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan (China), Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and the Asia-Pacific region with Australia and New Zealand. Understanding that every landscape is culturally mediated, diversity is a challenge for the viewer, who is offered tools through narratives to discover what the cinema of each of the countries mentioned here offers us. The nearly 2020 productions that will be presented this year were made between 2019 and XNUMX, although the majority are from XNUMX. They will be distributed, as in previous editions, among the Official, Official Panorama, Discoveries, Netpac, and Special sections, all in competition, in addition to the Kinuyo Tanaka Retrospective at the Filmoteca de Catalunya.
