In the Spotlight today is the 1st Asia Pacific International Filmmaker Festival & Award (APIFA), an intimate festival with an invigorating global conscience. Welcoming an exciting array of narrative and documentary feature films, short films, and films created by "rising stars" (students and newcomers in the art of filmmaking), APIFA seeks to support and promote the magic of independent filmmaking while extending the reach of great stories throughout the world.
APIFA warmly welcomes great films in a wide variety of genres and is even pleased to consider works in progress. In addition to offering a platform for film promotion, the festival is eager to facilitate international co-productions with talented filmmakers who are either from Asian Pacific regions or who seek to create a film with Asian Pacific themes or locations. In short, APIFA is not just a celebration of fantastic accomplishments, it's setting out to be a launchpad for future achievements yet to be conceived.
In addition to screening more than titles, APIFA will host a variety of career-enhancing film workshops, networking events, and press conferences with the aim of providing gifted filmmakers with as much public visibility and opportunity as possible. Distribution deals will also be made available to select winners, and complimentary lodging will be provided for all festival finalists.
