The 2024 Asian Short Film Festival will screen the first film written entirely by artificial intelligence (AI).
With the theme “Lighting up life”, the Organizing Committee hopes that the selected films will arouse empathy, discovery and inspiration for viewers. One of these films is “Palestine Islands” - a French film, set in a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank. The film tells the story of a young Palestinian girl who tries to convince her blind grandfather that the wall built by Israel separating the refugee camp where they live from their hometown of Jaffa has collapsed.
In the category of films made with smartphones, the film "Siren! Air Raid Alert! Head for Cover!" also addresses another major ongoing conflict. The 5-minute documentary from Ukrainian cinema was made from footage shot by Ukrainians in the war zone.
Equally impressive is “Efe,” a documentary directed and shot by journalist Shiori Ito, now an icon of the #MeToo movement in Japan. The film tells the story of life after the February 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy.
The Asian Short Film Festival was founded in 1999 by Japanese actor Tetsuya Bessho. It is the only international short film festival in Asia with five competing film categories, aiming for the following year's Oscars.
Taking place in a hybrid format of both online and live screenings, this year's Asian Short Film Festival will feature approximately 270 films, selected from 4,936 competing films, representing 114 countries and territories around the world.
In the context of technology being prevalent in recent years, audiences will also enjoy a series of special films, made with the support of AI.
Among these, the most prominent are the Austrian experimental animated film "The Artificial Conjuring Circle" - the first film made entirely using AI technology, and the Chinese film "Dragon Gate" - the first watercolor-style animated short film using AI-generated content.
Films from the Asian Short Film Festival will be screened at various venues in Tokyo, Japan, from June 4 to 17. Some films are now available to watch online until June 30.
