Best of Asia

Best of Asia is an accompanying program of Made in Asia, one of the key components of BIFAN Industry Gathering (B.I.G) that was created with an aim of examining the main points of Asian mainstream film industry, as well as further developing and strengthening its network. Best of Asia showcases the top domestic films from eleven Asian territories from the past year, reflecting the general taste and trend of mainstream films from those territories, including Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. Films such as Train to Busan, a top popular draw of Korea in 2016; The Mermaid, a Stephen CHOW film that conquered the Chinese box-office; and Joking Jazz 4G, a smash hit from Thailand that withstood the barrage of Hollywood films to become the number 2 box-office hit of 2016, are a few of the films that will be highlighted at this year’s BIFAN.
