“Fall in Love with Us, Fall in Love with Me”

With the theme "The World I Want to See", the competition encourages young creators to express their vision for the future, their values and the kind of world they want to live in through a short film (2-3 minutes). The AJC is hoping to bring to the Japanese population a more emotive narrative, showcasing an aspect of life in the ASEAN region that will inspire them to want to know more about its member countries and people.

Showcase Your Work on the Biggest Stage in Tokyo

The winning short films will be prominently displayed at the iconic Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo, Japan, where hundreds of thousands of people, including tourists from all over the world, cross every day.

Open to All ASEAN Nationals

The competition is open to both professional and amateur filmmakers of ASEAN nationality.
