This Vegan Festival is a family-friendly, fun-filled, educational 6-day event celebrating the plant-based food of the region, focusing on the health, environmental, and animal welfare/rights benefits of following a plant-based lifestyle and addressing the specific needs and cultural sensitivity required for Asia to foster the growth of Veganism.
With a rich (almost three-decades-long) history of VSI and IVS hosting Vegan Festivals in Indonesia, for the first time, the landmark event will feature an ethical section where different international and local, animal rights and welfare organizations will be coming together to provide Compassionate/ Animal (Rights) Education to push the animal rights movement forward in Asia. We aim to connect Indonesia with the rest of the world and also highlight the progress the country has been making in the Vegan Movement which has enabled all Vegan Schools and all Vegan Hospitals in Indonesia, to foster the growth of the vegan movement throughout Asia.

The first of its kind Asia Centric, Independent film festival named
‘The World Vegan Film Festival Asia’
will be happening at the
8th World Vegan Organisation Conference and Vegan Festival
from 12-14th, May, 2023 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and from 15-17th May, 2023 in Bali, Indonesia.
This event will celebrate original vegan films made across Asia and throughout the globe for Vegan Advocacy, and will also serve as a platform to create synergy between emerging filmmakers and established filmmakers to drive the Vegan Movement Forward more effectively and efficiently.
WHY WORLD VEGAN FILM FESTIVAL ASIA?
Asia is the largest continent in the globe and is a plethora of diversity in culture, customs and practice. This diversity, cultural differences, and the sensitivity that will arise therein are often unacknowledged in Vegan Advocacy, especially in Vegan Films.
The documentaries that expose animal agriculture and the exploitation of animal, the health films which advocate for a plant-based lifestyle, or the environmental films that link carbon emission and animal agriculture is often the ‘One size fits all’ West Centric approach. Even if someone creates Asia-centric vegan films, it fails to reach the mass audience due to a lack of distribution channels.
With this Film Festival, we want to bridge the cultural and distribution gaps, so that more people get involved in Vegan Film Making and provide a chance for grassroots regional film-making.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Bring and encourage diverse and local indie Vegan films.
2. Celebrate existing regional filmmakers and films, helping them to reach larger audience.
3. Provide a platform for emerging filmmakers and a chance to showcase their movies.
4. Create synergy between the Beginners and Expert filmmakers.
5. Link Filmmakers and Distributors.
6. Encourage Vegan filmmaking relevant to the region and culture.
