Event
13th Asian Film Festival Barcelona
Asian Film Festival Barcelona | AFFBCN returns this autumn transformed into a cultural compass pointing east—but also inward. For ten days, Barcelona will be transformed into an extended screen for the Asian continent, a territory where stories travel without passports and gazes intertwine in a geography of emotions, languages and imaginary borders.

About this event
From Iran to New Zealand, a hundred films invite audiences to discover a cinema that no longer seeks to be exotic, but urgent, alive and deeply human. They are stories about identity, exile, desire, memory and the future, told from a sensibility that shuns categories and dares to reinvent the very form of storytelling.
The festival is structured into six sections—Official, Panorama, Discoveries, NETPAC, Special Section and New Perspectives—where masters of auteur cinema coexist with new voices that turn the camera into a tool of resistance and beauty.
AFFBCN is not just an event for film lovers: it is a mirror of what we are when we look at what we do not yet know. With the support of ICEC, ICUB and the Japan Foundation, this edition once again confirms that Barcelona does not merely host Asian cinema: it amplifies it, listens to it and turns it into a universal language.
