Recently the Asian Film Awards Academy announced the 74 nominations of 42 films from eight (8) countries. Winners will be selected by a jury that comprises 14 film industry professionals and critics; the awards ceremony will be held on March 25 at The Venetian Theatre in Macao.
Inaugurated in 2007, the Asian Film Awards celebrates excellence in Asian cinema through the annual presentation of awards to the many diverse talents and films that make up the dynamic film industries of the region. Founded by the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival and Tokyo International Film Festival in late 2013, the AFA Academy aims to promote, develop and enrich Asian cinema, its talents and audiences by organizing the AFA and a diversity of other programs across Asia through working closely with film, arts and culture partners from around the world. This year AFA received over a thousand films from 34 countries across Asia.
Ann Hui's The Golden Era leads the pack with five nominations but not one for best film, which for me is very strange. In second place of the ranking there were many films with four nominations, including Black Coal Thin Ice, Blind Massage, Haider, Hill of Freedom and more. Perhaps more revealing is to learn that Chinese (including Hong Kong) productions lead the 2015 awards with 26 nominations followed by Japan with 17 and South Korea with 16.
