Art Festival
The 10th Asian Microfilm Art Festival was held in Lincang, Yunnan from November 24th to 26th
Lincang, a city where nature and culture coexist in harmony, offers a vibrant cultural mosaic painted by 24 ethnic minority groups. From the legacy of the South Silk Road to the Belt and Road Initiative, and from the intersection of history and the future, Lincang carries the important mission of connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Asian Microfilm Art Festival, which has been held in Lincang for ten years, has transformed the southwestern city into a global hub for microfilm art exchange.
Over the past decade, the blooming of each Asian Microfilm Art Festival has attracted attention from all over the world. According to last 10-year statistics, the Asian Microfilm Art Festival has received 31,327 entries from more than 30 countries, including the United States, Russia, France, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. Eminent artists from different countries have witnessed the brilliant growth of Asian microfilms in Lincang, jointly promoting the prosperity of the microfilm industry. At the same time, Lincang also uses the platform of the Asian Microfilm Art Festival to tell China’s stories and convey China’s voice through microfilms, gradually shortening the distance between Lincang and the world.
The national commissioning scheme called Brilliant is open to anyone in the UK, regardless of artistic background.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, March 23, 2025.
