The World Film Festival of Bangkok

The objective of the World Film Festival of Bangkok is to introduce 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, experimental films, documentaries and animation productions - which are considered a new focus of the industry.

Apart from film screenings, there are film-related talks such as Master Class Workshop and other special events. The World Film Festival of Bangkok has now become a significant film festival in Southeast Asia attracting more film industry and media from all over the world and is also attended by directors, film stars.
