Welcome to
iFilm Connections: Asia & Pacific!

iFilm Connections: Asia & Pacific seeks to create a deeper awareness and understanding of Asian and Pacific Island film cultures by providing immediate and comprehensive information about contemporary feature films from these areas.

Building upon the success of www.asianfilms.org, our team of film scholars, critics, and curators promise to revolutionize access and understanding of culturally significant independent films from Asia and the Pacific Islands. We offer faculty, students, film leaders, and the interested public a way to stream a selection of carefully selected feature films that can be used with original materials on this site to intelligently analyze the impact of globalization on the diverse cultures of Asia and the Pacific.
