The 9th East Asia Film Festival Ireland 2025 (EAFFI) brings to audiences memories, collective stories and personal journeys of identity and culture, with themes of understanding, tolerance and hope, through works by writers and directors across East Asian cinema.
To discover Vietnamese cinema, we are presenting three rare classic films in digital 2K restorations from the Vietnam Film Institute (VFI), each film to be introduced by Ms Khuất Thi Thu Trang, Ngoc Khanh Cinema House at the VFI.
We are also delighted to welcome two wonderful guests: Chinese writer-director, Lin Jianjie who will take part in a series of talks and screenings with his debut feature, Brief History of a Family (the festival’s opening night film), including an In-Conversation event on Saturday, March 22nd; and Qiuyan Chen, founder and director of Queer China UK who will take part in a Q&A session following the screening of the documentary, Love Bound.
Thank you as ever to the Arts Council for their continued and vital support, and as ever to the Irish Film Institute, to our sponsors and partners supporting EAFFI, and most importantly to you!
