History
Originally launched to give local audiences an opportunity to watch independent and non-commercial films, the festival is now recognized worldwide by film critics[citation needed] for its focus on Asian filmmakers and promotion of Southeast Asian films.
Awards
The Silver Screen Awards Competition was introduced in 1991 to encourage advances in Asian film-making standards.[37] Every year, a selection of Asian feature and short films take part in the competition. In 2014, the Southeast Asian Short Film category was introduced, replacing the Singapore Short Film category. The first Southeast Asian Film Lab was introduced in 2015.[38]
