asian short film fund 2025

The Asian Short Film Fund (ASFF), a new collaboration between Hong Kong International Film Festival and Nowness Asia, is now open for submissions.

The ASFF is the highlight of events co-hosted by HKIFFS and Meta Media Group to celebrate the intertwined histories of the Hong Kong International Film Festival and City Magazine, both founded in 1976.

The ASFF invites aspiring directors and producers to submit short film proposals. Ten shortlisted projects will participate in an online open-pitch session in early August 2025. Following the pitch, representatives from three selected projects will be invited to attend one-on-one meetings with the mentors, with the results announced later that month.
