The Da Nang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF) is an annual international film event organized by the Vietnam Cinema Promotion and Development Association in collaboration with the People’s Committee of Da Nang City, with the aim of honoring outstanding cinematic works from Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific region, and fostering dialogue and cultural exchange through the language of cinema.

Now in its third edition, DANAFF III continues to grow in scale and quality, featuring over 100 films, 200 screenings, and the newly introduced Asian Cinema Panorama program, which showcases acclaimed Asian films from major international film festivals. Beyond the competition and awards, the festival also offers outdoor screenings, talent development workshops, and dynamic networking activities for industry professionals.

A major highlight this year is the Korean Cinema Spotlight, presenting 13 landmark films that chart the remarkable evolution of Korean cinema — from its roots and reinvention to its powerful global presence today. This program invites audiences, filmmakers, and critics to reflect on the resilience and creative spirit that drive cinema forward, while drawing thought-provoking parallels with the journey of Vietnamese cinema through the decades.
