The Asian Film Festival Barcelona is a festival specialized in cinema from the Asia-Pacific region organized by the unique Casa Asia. This festival is a reference competition that brings the best filmography of the Asian continent. Moreover, it facilitates the meeting between professionals from the sector and the film industry.

In the same vein, the 2021 edition will take place in a mixed, face-to-face and online format. Even so, the face-to-face format will predominate.

Most importantly, the festival will have 138 films from 25 countries in its programming; which you can go and see in the cinemas of, for instance, the Cinemes Girona, CaixaForum, the French Institute and the Filmoteca de Catalunya, and the FILMIN platform. The contest maintains its usual sections: Official, Official Panorama, Discoveries, Netpac and Special. In addition, as a novelty this year, the section New Talents Hong Kong is added. This together with the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF), will offer 10 feature films signed by the new talents of Hong Kong cinema.

Of the program, the film that opens the festival stands out, and also the 14 Iranian films produced in 2020 and 2021; the 15 from India from 2020 and 2021, with a single exception from 2019; Philippine cinema, Japanese cinema or the new cinema that comes from China and Korea.
