  • Festival Description:

    The largest Asian film & video festival in Canada, the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival is a unique showcase of contemporary Asian cinema. Exhibiting works that highlight the diverse peoples, languages and cultures from Asia and Asian diaspora, the festival is dedicated to the finest works from East and Southeast Asian artists from Asia, Canada, the U.S. and all over the world.

    This festival accepts independent features and shorts from all different genres. Be it obscure experimental works, complex political rants, ironic chop-socky kung fu flicks, deconstructionist mockumentaries or minimalist GenerAsianX slacker dramas, send us anything that is brilliant, creative, weird, or just plain entertaining.

    All works must be independently produced with an East/Southeast Asian/ Asian-North American in a key creative role. We encourage submissions from first-time and emerging directors. We welcome the works from, by and about the people and the cultures of the following countries: Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, North Korea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
