The 2nd annual Luang Prabang Film Festival (LPFF) will present 30+ films on a Southeast Asian theme to a diverse audience from December 3-10, 2011.  The main venue will be the Handicraft Market, at the main intersection in town.  Supplementing evening screenings during the weeklong festival, there will be many activities surrounding film and media that guests can take part in.  Other screenings and exhibitions will take place in non-traditional venues (both indoor and outdoor) in the former royal capital of Laos, as Luang Prabang has no working cinemas.

After the festival, a smaller selection of films will tour other major provinces in Laos, with mini-festivals held over 2-night stops in each city.  Between the yearly events, LPFF produces screenings and educational projects that attempt to raise awareness about film in Laos, building on a long-term, sustainable project that seeks to support a burgeoning industry and art form.
