Spain Moving Images Festival (SMIFest 2023) is the only Asian audiovisual creation, film and video art festival based in Madrid. Especially dedicated to emerging filmmakers, artists and creative movements from Asia, with an eye always on classics and pioneers, it is proposed as an ideal platform to showcase the most relevant and avant-garde contemporary audiovisual works and creators from South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Southeast Asia, India or China. Organized by the Asian Film Industry Association in Spain and Latin America (AFIAS) and after its successful previous editions, this year SMIFest presents, from October 17 to November 2, in collaboration with different public and private institutions, both Asian and Spanish, a varied program full of surprising proposals, ranging from animation, short films and experimental films to the celebration of the great classics of oriental film noir or recent productions from Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong.
