Furthermore, since 2014, Autumn Meeting has welcomed important international guests from Korean Academy of Film Arts, Motion Picture Association of America as well as members of Cannes and Venice International Film Festivals. This year, apart from the familiar faces above, AM will for the first time welcome filmmakers from South East and East Asia and other delegates from Berlin International film festival, Hong Kong International Film Festivals, Kaohsiung Film Archive and Kaohsiung International Film Festival, Fukuoka Asian Film Festival…

Retaining the same guiding principle of discovering and providing support for new cinema talents, Autumn Meeting 2016 will select and invite young filmmakers in the country with promising short projects to present and complete their works in workshops guided by established local and international filmmakers. Additionally, since 2015, AM courses have also begun to welcome young filmmakers from South East Asian and East Asian countries. As the workshops conclude, the best projects selected by a jury of leading movie professionals will be awarded valuable prizes to help propel these projects into future films.

Autumn Meeting 2016 will continue to welcome the world acclaimed Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung as the instructor for the Directing Workshop. Mister Tran Anh Hung will also be the Jury President for the “Short Film of the Future” Award. French editor Julie Beziau will be in charge of the Editing Workshop. French Colorist Yov Moor will be in charge of Color-grading Workshop, Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar and Tia Hasibuan will be in charge of Specialized Workshop “Making movies with a super low budget”. The first ever Acting Workshop by AM will be led by Korean professor Lydia Park, with a special appearance by acclaimed actress Moon So-ri.

Well known Vietnamese actors/actresses and directors will take part in various Autumn Meeting 2016 activities as the event’s official guests.

With the mission of unifying and developing Vietnamese cinema as well as stimulating cinematic discourses with other countries in the region (South East Asia and Asia-Pacific), Autumn Meeting 2016 is a non-profit cultural event that aims to assist young cinema talents. The three AMs so far in 2013, 2014, and 2015 have received enormous support from Vietnamese media outlets and adoration from both Vietnamese and international artists. Most importantly, AM is at the receiving end of the immense support from the people and governmental bodies of the cities it resides. As it grows, AM strives to become a significant International Film Festival in the near future.
