Chanel X BIFF Asian Film Academy opens applications
Film training program seeks 24 emerging Asian filmmakers for collaboration during Busan International Film Festival Applications are now open for the 2025 Chanel X BIFF Asian Film Academy, a cornerstone educational program designed to nurture Asia's next generation of cinematic talent. Running Sept. 7-26, the initiative invites aspiring filmmakers from across Asia to apply before April 4. This year's program will welcome 24 participants from across Asia who will collaborate on short films slated for premieres during the 30th Busan International Film Festival. Participants will handle all aspects of filmmaking — directing, cinematography, editing, and sound design — while gaining hands-on experience through workshops, mentoring sessions, and masterclasses led by industry veterans. The academy has refined its approach after last year's success with having eight directing fellows each produce their own short films. For this year, organizers aim to streamline the team collaboration process to enhance networking opportunities and workflow efficiency. Since its founding in 2005, the Asian Film Academy has served as a springboard for 430 emerging filmmakers from 35 countries. The program got a substantial upgrade in 2022 when it was relaunched as the Chanel X BIFF Asian Film Academy. The 2025 program will unfold in three phases: Online pre-production, Aug. 4-Sept. 6, followed by the in-person academy, Sept. 7-26, and screenings that coincide with the 30th Busan International Film Festival which runs Sept. 17-26 and the 20th Asian Contents & Film Market running Sept. 20-23. Application guidelines can be found on BAFA official website. Applications close at 6 p.m., April 4. Selected applicants will be announced in mid-June.
