The star-studded event welcomed an impressive lineup of filmmakers, actors and industry leaders from across Asia and beyond, underscoring DANAFF’s growing reputation as an emerging international platform for cinematic exchange.
Among the festival’s most distinguished guests were Kim Dong-ho, the founding of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF); famous Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To (To Kei-fung), the President of the Jury for the Asian Competition section at DANAFF IV; Hollywood actress Jane Seymour; and renowned producer Bill Mechanic, who is being honoured with the festival’s Achievement Award for his outstanding contributions to world cinema.
Asian entertainment stars also drew enthusiastic crowds on the red carpet, including South Korean actors Ji Chang Wook, Jung Il Woo, Park Sung Woong, and Han Dong Hee, alongside Turkish actress Tuba Büyüküstün, reflecting the festival’s increasingly international appeal.

Vietnamese cinema was equally well represented by some of the country’s most respected artists, including People's Artists Nhu Quynh, Hoang Cuc, and Lan Huong, as well as Meritorious Artist Hong Anh, actresses Do Hai Yen, and actors Lien Binh Phat and Kieu Minh Tuan, among many others.
Alongside celebrity presence, DANAFF IV aims to build an international cinematic ecosystem where filmmakers, producers, distributors, critics, scholars, policymakers and audiences can meet, exchange ideas and foster new creative partnerships.
As Asia’s film industry continues to expand its global influence, festivals such as DANAFF are becoming increasingly important platforms for cross-border collaboration and cultural dialogue.
By bringing together internationally acclaimed filmmakers with emerging talents, the event offers opportunities for artistic exchange while strengthening connections between regional and global film industries.
For Da Nang, the festival also reinforces the city’s ambition to establish itself as a leading cultural and creative destination in Asia.
Combining world-class hospitality, a vibrant coastal setting and an increasingly influential film festival, the city is steadily transforming into a meeting point where cinema, tourism and cultural diplomacy converge.
