Asian Eye

ABOUT THE CATEGORY

Where movement meets the moving image. This category celebrates screendance as a distinct art form, one where choreography and cinematography are inseparable, each shaping the other from the first frame. These are works conceived specifically for the screen, not dance performances simply filmed, nor music videos dressed up as art. The camera doesn't just capture the movement; it moves with it, becoming a body of its own. We're looking for films that could only exist as film.

ABOUT THE LOGO

Inspired by cherry blossoms, this motif draws on their association with harmony and renewal in many Asian cultures. The four pink floral forms are arranged to create the shape of an eye, symbolizing the way we see the world. The yellow accents represent clarity, and positive energy. Together, these elements convey the idea of viewing the world through a lens of beauty, balance, and optimism.
