Whether online or offline, the festival continues to highlight women both behind and in front of the camera, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this 19th edition features a specific focus on women filmmakers: WOMEN TRANSFORMING FILM, starting with the Opening Film.
A generous share of the program is devoted to new filmmakers, including striking directorial debuts and sophomore efforts. Integral to NYAFF’s mission is showcasing the Asian cinema vanguard that emerges largely from new talent and fresh voices, and the Festival continues to champion the work of new directors and filmmakers that have not yet received international recognition with its “Uncaged” Competition section.
