Heads up Filipino art enthusiasts!

The Asian International Children's Film Festival, now in its 16th year, was established with the goal of encouraging friendship and goodwill among Asian youths through the art of filmmaking.

Young filmmakers from all over Asia are invited to Japan as part of this event for a competition and days of cultural exchange events that end in an awards ceremony for the best film submissions.

Children compete in a 3-minute short film competition where bullies, delinquency, youth crime, and NEET are just a few of the issues that plague children's environment nowadays.

The film festival's "What I Want" theme is its main focus this year. Participants are able to express their creativity through a variety of genres and styles as long as they keep the festival's selected theme in mind.

The Program seeks to strengthen ties of friendship and collaboration between the peoples of Japan and the Philippines by fostering mutual trust and understanding between them.

Additionally, it promotes an awareness of the politics, diplomatic relations, diversified culture, history, economy, and society of Japan.
