Celebrating cinematic excellence in the region
Organised by the Malaysian Film Producers Association (PFM) alongside Lomo Pictures Sdn Bhd, NCT Group, and the Asia Pacific International Arts Festival, the Asia-Pacific Film Festival (APFF) has been an annual fixture since its founding in 1953.
Held in various cities across 25 countries, it remains one of the region’s oldest and most prestigious film festivals.
This year’s festival will feature an exciting array of programs, including panel discussions, exclusive film screenings, and networking opportunities with industry professionals.
Attendees will have the chance to engage with directors, producers, actors, and experts from across the Asia-Pacific region, gaining valuable insights into the evolving landscape of the film industry.
Malaysian horror film Indera to open the festival
The Malaysian horror film Indera, starring local talents Shaheizy Sam, Azira Shafinaz, and Samara Kenzo, has been selected as the festival’s opening film.
This much-anticipated screening will set the tone for the three-day event, which will culminate in the APFF61 Awards Ceremony, honouring the best in Asia-Pacific cinema.
The awards will recognise outstanding achievements in filmmaking, from exceptional performances to technical brilliance, celebrating the diverse stories and talent that define the Asia-Pacific film industry.
APFF continues to serve as a platform for artistic expression, cultural exchange, and economic cooperation in the region.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the Asia-Pacific Film Festival also aims to foster deeper cultural understanding and collaboration among filmmakers, artists, and fans.
Aspiring filmmakers, film enthusiasts, and media representatives are encouraged to attend, providing them with the opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate cinematic excellence.
