  <description_plain>In its 11th year running, the Barcelona Asian Film Festival (better known as BAFF) celebrates Asian cinema through a European lens. With a program of 60 feature films, all of which were produced over the past year within Asia, the festival lights up Barcelona's silver screens for ten days.


	Divided into different areas of focus&amp;#8212;including films from Southeast Asia, emerging talents, video games as cinema and Filipino cult films&amp;#8212;the festival's program is select while still offering a range of filmic topics and approaches.


	Highlighting the trap of using the all-encompassing term, "Asian films," the organizers have organized the festival in such a way that uses films from the continent to emphasize the diversity of the area and its arts.</description_plain>
