The festival committee invites filmmakers from China, India, Japan,
Korea, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the United States to submit
short films for consideration in our Washington, DC-based Showcase
June 1 - 6, 2009.

- Asia: Japan, Korea, India, China
- North America: USA

The film must fit one of the themes
- Generations/Getting Older
- Cities/Urban Environment
- Humor

- Beauty

The films serve as a springboard to discussion of the themes and how
they are addressed in different countries, particularly through the
medium of film. Each evening will focus on comparing Asian, European
and US cultures in regards to particular themes. The nightly hour and
a half screening at an Embassy or Cultural Center will be followed by
discussion of the films and the topics with several panelists.
