Dear Filmmakers and film fans,
The Across Asia Youth Film Festival (AAYFF) is back! We are already tremendously excited and busy planning the third edition of the festival which will be held on 20th April 2019.
This year’s festival is hosted by the International School of Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC), a dynamic IB World school. Celebrating 25 years of learning, ISHCMC is proud to be the most established international school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. ISHCMC have followed the AAYFF since its inception with students submitting films to both editions of the festival.
We are also pleased to confirm HBO Asia are continuing to support young filmmakers across Asia by sponsoring AAYFF 2019.
