About |
Established in 1996, Ciné Asie is a non-profit organization in Québec serving the media
arts community, focusing on the Asian-Canadian Diasporas. The role of Ciné Asie is to
give a voice to creative works that would otherwise be rarely showcased to local
audiences. Ciné Asie’s vision is to bring Asian-Canadian filmmakers into the public
majority, and provide an opportunity for members of the Asian-Canadian community
to celebrate their cultural heritage.
Based in the artistically rich city of Montréal, Ciné-Asie has been contributing to the
cultural environment since its founding year by fostering Asian heritage films and
Asian-Canadian independent films.
Since its inception, our organization has collaborated with other Canadian festivals
such as Reel Asian Film Festival in Toronto, Fantasia Film Festival and Festival Accès
Asie in Montréal. Ciné-Asie has also formed strong partnerships with Cinémathèque
québécoise and Pacific Cinémathèque to achieve our goals and artistic vision
