Udine Far East Film Festival is an all-embracing gaze over the Far East which – since 1999 – has been engaging with, transcending, and never ceasing to delve deeper into questions of diversity, distance and every possible interpretation of the word “inspiring”. Some numbers: 75 films (48 in competition and 27 not in competition) from 12 countries. More precisely, 12 world premieres, 22 international premieres, 23 European premieres and 19 Italian premieres. And as far as the number of accredited visitors goes, there's been an increase of 24% over 2023. There have also been more than 250 requests from cinema students at universities around the world, which shows just how active the younger “Fareasters” are.

On a big night for Japan, Mitsuhiro Mihara’s Takano Tofu took home the top prize at the 26th Far East Film Festival (Feff), which concluded on Thursday night in the northern Italian city of Udine. The family drama, which stars Tatsuya Fuji and Kumiko Aso as a father and daughter who run a tofu store in a small town, won Feff’s coveted Golden Mulberry Audience Award. Takano Tofu also won the Purple Mulberry Award, which is selected by users of MYmovies, Italy’s leading film fan platform.
It was a one-two for Japan in the main audience awards, as Naoya Fujita’s youthful drama Confetti came second place. In third was the Hong Kong film Time Still Turns the Pages, a devastating drama from Nick Cheuk who scored best director wins at the Asian Film Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards for the same film.
