ICAS 13 Film Festival

The Film Festival at ICAS 13 has always been designed to complement the ICAS conference programme, this year is no exception. The ICAS 13 Film Festival will showcase documentary films from Asia. We are fortunate that some of the film directors or producers will be present at ICAS 13. Some screenings will be followed by a 15-minutes Q&A and several film screenings are organised alongside a more in-depth and wider discussion. 

For everyone who missed the film screenings on the first few days, a five hour time slot on the last day, 1 August, has been reserved to rescreen some of the films with no breaks in between.
