The Ngilngig Asian Fantastic Film Festival (Philippines) is accepting short films until September 1st, 2022. * Only for Asian filmmakers *

About the Festival:
Ngilngig Asian Fantastic Film Festival is an annual showcase of films that explores the myriad meanings of the “ngilngig”—a common Bisaya expression for something that is “kuyaw” (fantastic) or for something that elicits horror or alluding to the macabre.

From what used to be a horror-genre festival, Ngilngig Festival has expanded its scope to become the first fantastic film festival of its kind in Southeast Asia, extending the reach to other neighboring countries’ “ngilngig” and fantastic films that are significant with our own ways of telling stories to promote and preserve our myths, traditions, history and culture into cinematic form.

– Short horror or fantastic-genre films must come from Asian regions.
– Films should not exceed the 30-minute mark.
– Films must have been completed between September 1, 2019 – September 1, 2022.

– Entry Fees:
* International Shorts – $ 10 USD
