The inaugural Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival (BAPFF) is a 16 day event screening more than 80 films from across the region. The new program includes multi-award winning features and documentaries, highlights from the festival circuit, and a curated showcase of the best films from the Asia Pacific region.

The festival’s program champions the big and small of Asia Pacific film making, and is full of contrasts. It looks to the future of film making in the region, while also looking to the past, courtesy of retrospective screenings.
