“We are thrilled to bring Pan-Asian-centered film festival programming back to the Prairies in the Year of the Fire Horse,” said Alan Wong, President of FascinAsian Film Festival and Winnipeg Festival Director.
“This May 2026 in Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, you can expect to see expanded festival programming that ensures more access to and love for Pan-Asian artists and stories. We’d like to thank all filmmakers who have submitted their films for a chance to be screened at this year’s festival, and we look forward to bringing an exceptional program to these three Prairie cities.”
Follow @FascinAsianCalgary, @FascinAsianEdmonton and @FascinAsianWinnipeg, for specific programming updates in each of the three cities.
