KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 (Bernama) – The ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) has launched the “ASEAN NEW GENERATION” Short Film Award, a competition seeking creative short films that showcase the vibrant life and aspirations of ASEAN people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AJC in a statement said this exciting opportunity invites filmmakers and storytellers from across the 10 ASEAN Member States to share their unique perspectives with a Japanese audience, whereby 10 winners will have a portion of their film featured at the Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winner with the most popular film (decided by public voting) will also win a four days three nights trip for one (ticket and lodging) to Osaka to attend the Expo 2025 Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Themed “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 (two to three minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winning short films will be prominently displayed at the iconic Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo, where hundreds of thousands of people, including worldwide tourists, cross every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The competition is open to both professional and amateur filmmakers of ASEAN nationality, with the submission deadline due on Nov 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ASEAN and Japan have had a long history of friendship and cooperation, with last year marking the 50th anniversary of friendship and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving forward, the AJC aims to continue to build on this relationship by deepening the mutual understanding between the people in the ASEAN Member States and Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
