FEFF Focus Asia 2026: Full Line-Up

Focus Asia, the industry platform of the Far East Film Festival (FEFF, April 24-May 2) in Udine, Italy, has selected 13 projects for the 2026 edition of All Genres Project Market and six projects for Far East in Progress.

All Genres Project Market focuses on projects with Asian and European co-production potential, while Far East in Progress is described as the first and only European platform completely dedicated to Asian films in post-production seeking international distribution and festival premiere.

Projects selected for Far East in Progress are first incubated and developed within the Ties That Bind workshop or the All Genres Project Market, before being presented to festival programmers, sales agents and distributors.

The All Genres Project Market selection committee comprised Martin Horyna (Czech Republic), Mike Hostench (Spain), Young-woo Kim (South Korea), Ming-Jung Kuo (Taiwan), Winnie Lau (Hong Kong), Wonsun Shin (South Korea) and Valeria Richter (Denmark). The selection committee for Far East in Progress is headed by Marie-Pierre Vallé (France).

For the first time, Bangkok production and post-production company White Light Studio is joining Focus Asia to deliver the White Light/Focus Asia Award, with an in-kind prize of $20,000 in post-production services, which will be granted to the most promising project selected from Far East in Progress and All Genres Project Market.
