Part of DANAFF Talents, the event is being held alongside the fourth Danang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF, June 28-July 4), co-hosted by local government and the Vietnam Film Development Association (VFDA), in the city of Danang, Vietnam.
The DANAFF Talents programme also includes a Talent Incubator Workshop, with acting teachers includes Lydia Park and Robert Marchand, and a masterclass from Korean filmmaker Kang Je-gyu.
