Wherever I am, the world comes after me.
It offers me its busyness. It does not believe that I do not want it.
Now I understand why the old poets of China went so far
and high into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.
"The Old Poets of China" by Mary Oliver

ABOUT THE ASEANnale Film and Multimedia Competition

The ASEANale Film and Multimedia Competition encourages ASEAN higher education students to produce creative works in film and Multimedia that are the narratives of their culture and their personal experiences. The competition also gives honors to these filmmakers and multimedia producers whose creative storytelling explores a range of human experiences that echoes the festival’s theme of “Capturing the spirit of ASEAN in the Digital Times”.  Because of this, the ASEANale Film and Multimedia Competition encourages originality, creativity and research-based works. There are three (3) sub-themes for the film and multimedia competition – Diaspora, Democracy, and Disaster.

ABOUT THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS
