Call for Entry: Bangkok ASEAN Film Festival 2020
31 July, 2020
Bangkok ASEAN Film Festival 2020, organized by Thailand’s Ministry of Culture, aims to promote the film of Southeast Asia to acquire a more prominent status in the international film community and to foster a co-operation between the regional film industry and other film industries around the world. The 6th edition of the festival will take place from September 3 to 6, 2020.
As is the case everywhere in the world, the coronavirus outbreak has affected the preparation of this year’s event.
