FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL 23: new dates, new location!

Taking place in the same period of the year as in 2020, when the entire organisation and structure of the festival were revolutionized and moved over to streaming, the 2021 edition of Udine Far East Film Festival will see the "festival" side taking precedence over the "digital" side. And to ensure maximum functionality for spectators coming to Udine, the organizers have decided to transfer the headquarters of FEFF 23 from the Teatro Nuovo to the Visionario and the Cinema Centrale cinemas.

So, the 2021 edition of FEFF will be taking place from 24 June to 2 July, with the Visionario and Cinema Centrale cinemas opening their doors to Asian films!

Yes, this means that this years edition will have multiple screens and an outdoor arena - the Visionario's garden – which will make planning and the observance of the rules that much more practicable.

Together with the FEFF, there'll once again be the FEFF Campus, the journalism school for young Asian and western talents headed by Mathew Scott, as well as Ties That Bind, the Asia-Europe co-production workshop, and Focus Asia, the Festival's industry area. Focus Asia, the Far East in progress section (the first and only European platform dedicated to Asian films in post-production), the project market and a densely packed lineup of webinars will take place from 30 June to 2 July, with part of the Ties That Bind programme taking place on the same dates.
