The 3rd Da Nang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF) was directed by the Da Nang People's Committee (UBND), in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Vietnam Film Development Association (VFDA). Compared to the previous two editions, this year's event was extended from 5 to 7 days (29/6-5/7), and the number of films increased significantly to over 100, with 184 screenings in theaters and free outdoor screenings.
In addition to the main competition categories, the organizing committee established a Critics Jury to select the best film in the Asian Cinema Panorama category. The festival included professional activities such as seminars, discussions, artist exchanges, and the Talent Nurturing workshop for young actors, combined with visits to local historical sites and scenic spots. Some key programs included "Half a Century of Vietnamese Cinema" and "Focus on Korean Cinema".
