Asian Art Bridge is honored to announce that our Founder, Linh An, has been appointed as a Jury Member of the International Festival of Asian Cinema (FICA – Festival International des Cinémas d’Asie de Vesoul), one of the most prestigious platforms dedicated to Asian cinema in Europe.
This appointment, made through the Friends of the Guimet Museum (National Asian Art Museum, France), represents a meaningful recognition of Asian Art Bridge’s long-standing commitment to connecting Asian artistic voices with French and European cultural institutions.
Founded in 1995, FICA has become a cornerstone of Asian cinema in Europe and is an official partner of the Busan International Film Festival.
The 2026 edition will showcase 87 films from 24 Asian countries, taking place from January 27 to February 3, 2026, in Vesoul, France.
For Asian Art Bridge, this role goes far beyond an individual distinction. It reflects our core mission:
- Supporting emerging Asian talents
- Amplifying Asian narratives on international stages
- Acting as a strategic cultural bridge between Asia and France through art, cinema, and heritage
We extend our sincere thanks to the Friends of the Guimet Museum – Société des Amis du Musée Guimet (SAMG) for their trust and continued collaboration.
Asian Art Bridge remains deeply committed to fostering meaningful artistic exchanges and building sustainable cultural partnerships across borders. We look forward to engaging with artists, filmmakers, institutions, and cultural leaders in Vesoul and beyond.
