An international screening stage for independent cinemas, Bangkok Movie Awards, BMA is now celebrated as one of the most prestigious Asian Film Festivals in the recent decades.
Here, the culture of Thai filmmaking combines with the world’s contemporary forms of storytelling in every genre.

A Variety of Vision

We delight in reflecting a diversity of cultures, genres, points of view, practices, and more.
At this Film Festival in Bangkok, the Thai capital one trend likely to continue shaping the future of world cinema is the growth of independent and art-house films. We always care for independent thinkers, and intellectuals coming to the filmmaking sphere with masterly abilities and eyes full of dreams.

Many times, budding filmmakers need help showcasing their cinemas due to a lack of distribution channels for indie cinemas—Bangkok Movie Awards facilities as their very own film carnival from every aspect possible.
