Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Started by film aficionados to introduce Asian cinema to France, the festival plays a role in promoting cultural exchange. It highlights the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region (Vesoul and Haute-Saône) as a center for Asian arts. The event is supported by an association, local government, and cultural networks (e.g. NETPAC). It has a strong identity in Vesoul, often involving local cinemas and the Edwige Feuillière theatre.
