UK Asian Film Festival 2025 dates and theme announced!
WHEN: 1 -11 May 2025
THEME: Longing and Belonging
We invite filmmakers from around the globe to submit their works to the "Longing and Belonging" theme of the annual UK Asian Film Festival, a celebration of films that explore one of the most profound human experiences—the search for connection, identity, and purpose.
In every corner of the world, people wrestle with feelings of longing—yearning for love, home, acceptance, or meaning—and the deep desire to find a place where they truly belong. Whether it’s a story of a displaced immigrant, a journey of self-discovery, a quest for love, or the tension between tradition and modernity, we are seeking films that creatively and thoughtfully delve into these emotional landscapes.
Your film could explore:
• Personal longing: The internal struggles for identity, self-acceptance, or reconciliation with the past.
• Cultural displacement: The experience of being torn between two worlds or searching for a new home.
• Relationships: The complex dynamics of belonging to or yearning for a family, community, or a lover.
• Existential search: Films that probe deeper questions about the meaning of life, home, and place in the world.
We encourage bold storytelling, fresh perspectives, and artistic experimentation. Whether your work is a quiet meditation on identity, a visually arresting experimental piece, or a character-driven narrative of migration or self-acceptance, we are eager to see how you interpret this timeless theme.

9moVery happy to finally see this come to life! We only had a few days and lots of weather to deal with while shooting, but thanks to the small, capable team we captured the story of Kendall and Glenn. And of course their epic vehicle; which needed some love along the way as we covered lots of ground and terrain. Thanks Kendall and Glenn for trusting us telling your story and cheers to Sea to Summit Global for the kind words.
