ACADEMY
After a temporary COVID-induced pause, the Busan International Film Festival‘s Asian Film Academy, a talent incubator for emerging Asian filmmakers, is returning, in partnership with Chanel. The renamed Chanel X BIFF Asian Film Academy promises “a solid foundation for educating young promising Asian talents in a broader and more innovative way and provides the driving force to strengthen their capabilities. Based on this robust financial support, it is expected to be the most enterprising and essential film education program in Asia,” according to a statement released by Chanel and the festival. A highlight of the revamped program will be enhanced opportunities for Asian women filmmakers.
The academy, which has been running since 2005 and now has 363 alumni from 32 countries, is now accepting applications through May 8 for its 2022 program, which will run Sept. 27-Oct. 14.
Chanel’s international programs include the Through Her Lens: Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program, Chanel Women Writers’ Network of Toronto International Film Festival, and First Frame of First International Film Festival in Xining, China.
