Welcome to 9FilmFest, an international annual event held in Bangkok, the greatest city in South East Asia. This year, our 7th festival will be held at Cinema Oasis, on Bangkok’s pristine Sukhumvit road, not far from the famous Emquartier Mall. 9Fest was founded by filmmakers, for filmmakers and audience. We accept all genres of short films from around the world. And provide the opportunity for your film to be accepted into competition. “9” is the luckiest number in Thailand. Thus, 9 films are selected as Competition Finalists. The science of film, needs festivals to screen film and create memorable and inspiring experiences for filmmakers and audience (film lovers). Past years at 9Fest, have included famous jury members, Oscar winner, George Miller (Mad Max), Apichartpong Weerasethakul (Palme d’Or winner), and Prince Chatrichalerm Yukol. 9Fest is a film festival where selected films will be shown in two cities! What could be more spectacular than screening your short along with fans and filmmakers from around the world! 9Fest is again, honored to partner with Indy Shorts International Film Festival (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA) held July 25 – 28, 2019. Last year, the 9Fest Program screened at the magnificent Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. This year, we will again present carefully selected films from our 9Fest Competition section. The selected films will be included in the Indy Shorts Film Festival in July 25 - 28, 2019! We look forward to seeing your film and include it to be shown in two cities!!
