The Asia South East – Short Film Festival is a seasonal film festival that gives international audiences from Asia, Europe and North America who are living or travelling in the south east of Asia, a chance to see a wide variety of the great short films that are being produced from around the world. It is curated by the same team that produces the seasonal London-X4 Short Film Festival and the annual London-Worldwide Comedy Short Film Festival.

For our upcoming Summer 2018 season, The Asia South East – Short Film Festival will screen its fantastic films in Saigon ( Hồ Chí Minh) the largest most dynamic city in Vietnam. Vietnam is a country with a fascinating and eventful history, it also has on average a very young and dynamic population and a creative and bohemian ex-pat community. Future editions of our festival will be held in Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia, all dynamic, exciting countries in this very beautiful region of the world.
