The Association of Southeast Asia Nations or ASEAN is a diverse region of almost 700 million people. Strong economic growth and a young and increasingly well-educated population have contributed to a vibrant arts and cultural sector. Motion pictures are an important contemporary medium to tell stories and share ideas, beliefs, and culture. And Southeast Asia has many interesting stories and wonderful films to share with the world. The ASEAN FILM FESTIVAL (AFF) is organized by the Hong Kong-ASEAN Foundation (HKAF) as a non-profit initiative to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of culture through the art of storytelling through films. Now in its second edition, AFF strives to be a premier event anchored in Hong Kong SAR to showcase a curated selection of films from Southeast Asia's top filmmakers. As ASEAN Film Festival Co-presenter this year, Asia Society Hong Kong will host five movie screenings at the Asia Society Theatre in September.

東南亞國家聯盟（東盟）是一個擁有近7億人口多元化的地區。受惠於高速經濟增長、有利環境和良好的教育，該區的藝術與文化產業急速發展，為生活注入更多活力。東盟的活潑和多元化塑造了許多精彩的故事，豐富了東南亞電影的內涵。作為一種為人知曉的當代媒介，電影並不只是供娛樂觀賞的，它也可傳達思想、信念和文化，讓世界更了解東南亞。香港- 東盟協會主辦的東盟電影節是一個非營利的倡議，旨在通過電影細述的故事，讓大眾對東南亞文化有更深入正面的理解和賞識。東盟電影節今年邁進第二屆，致力成為香港的主要電影盛事，為東南亞最傑出的電影工作者提供在港展示作品和才藝的平台，促進兩地文化交流。亞洲協會香港中心有幸成為本年度東盟電影節的合辦機構之一，將於九月進行一共5場的電影放映。

Her father rules the clan on the south bank of the lake, which was banished from the North Bank centuries ago. At a young age, K'na is trained in the art of weaving, whose design comes from the visions granted only to deserving women who become dreamweavers.

However, K'na has already fallen in love with Silaw, a childhood friend whose family supplies the finest abaca fibres to the dreamweavers. As the wedding day draws near, a revolution brews among those who do not believe in the union of the two royal clans, and K'na must make choice between love and peace.
