This event will celebrate
original vegan films made across Asia and throughout the globe for Vegan
Advocacy, and will also serve as a platform to create synergy between emerging
filmmakers and established filmmakers to drive the Vegan Movement Forward more
effectively and efficiently.
WHY WORLD
VEGAN FILM FESTIVAL ASIA?
Asia is the largest
continent in the globe and is a plethora of diversity in culture, customs and
practice. This diversity, cultural differences, and the sensitivity that will
arise therein are often unacknowledged in Vegan Advocacy, especially in Vegan
Films.
The documentaries that
expose animal agriculture and the exploitation of animal, the health films
which advocate for a plant-based lifestyle, or the environmental films that
link carbon emission and animal agriculture is often the ‘One size fits all’
West Centric approach. Even if someone creates Asia-centric vegan films, it
fails to reach the mass audience due to a lack of distribution channels. With
this Film Festival, we want to bridge the cultural and distribution gaps, so
that more people get involved in Vegan Film Making and provide a chance for
grassroots regional film-making.

and encourage diverse and local indie Vegan films.
2.

existing regional filmmakers and films, helping them to reach larger audience.
3.
