Night Venue
Our outdoor screening space, the Handicraft Market, was renovated by UNESCO in 2003. At the main intersection in town, this venue is ideal for cultural and public events, and can accommodate over 1,500 people.
Day Venue
Sofitel Luang Prabang, a five-star resort housed in stately French colonial buildings, serves as the festival’s daytime venue. Our feature film screening room can seat 75 people, while our short film screening room can seat 20 people.
Shuttle Service
Every fifteen minutes, a free shuttle is available to bring guests between the two venues.
Public Discussions
DISTRIBUTION METHODS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Once you have made your film, how do you get it seen? A variety of avenues exist for Southeast Asian filmmakers to distribute their works, though they may not always follow the industry norm. In this panel discussion, we will ask our industry experts about the different ways regional filmmakers can screen and sell their films.
PANELISTS
- Chookiat Sakveerakul, Director (Thailand)
- Dwi Sujanti Nugraheni, Filmmaker (Indonesia)
- Anysay Keola, Filmmaker (Laos)
- Clarence Tsui, Journalist (Hong Kong)
- Tran Thi Bich Ngoc, Producer (Vietnam)
FUNDRAISING FOR LOW-BUDGET FILMMAKING
Probably the biggest problem facing filmmakers worldwide is finding adequate funding to get their film projects off the ground. This is even true for smaller budget films, and perhaps even more so the case. Our panelists will share their experience with raising money for film budgets and talk about how certain programs in their respective countries can help.
PANELISTS
- Francis Joseph A. Cruz, Film Critic (the Philippines)
- Siu Pham, Filmmaker (Vietnam)
- Fatily Sa, Producer (Cambodia)
- Nontawat Numbenchapol, Filmmaker (Thailand)
- Vannaphone Sitthirath, Filmmaker (Laos)

Movie Poster Design Competition
This year, the Luang Prabang Film Festival held a graphic design competition with a big cash prize! Any designer living in Southeast Asia was invited to submit a movie poster design for a fictitious film called My Mother’s Wedding. This is not an existing movie, nor one in production, so we encouraged graphic designers to imagine what might happen in the film, who the main characters are, and how the film might take place in their own country of origin. They also had to submit an artist’s statement that explained their interpretation of the film’s subject, and their inspiration for the poster’s design.
The top ten poster designs were selected by the Luang Prabang Film Festival’s Board of Directors, but our festival visitors chose which artists received First Prize (and $750), Second Prize ($500), and Third Prize ($250).
Congratulations to the winners!
