“Further and Further Away” is screening at Busan International Short Film Festival
A young indigenous Bunong woman and her brother are about to move to Phnom Penh, in order to search for a better life. The brother is excited but the girl seems to be reluctant. Before that, however, they decide to spend one last day in their rural village in northeastern Cambodia, which was lost due to the development of a nearby hydroelectric dam a few years earlier. Eventually, the sister starts roaming in the area.

2022 was a great year for Asian short films (and mid-length for that matter) with a number of creators choosing the medium in order to both deal with the financial difficulties the pandemic caused and to have a medium that allows more creative freedom, with the two actually being directly connected. As such, we decided to have a list on short films for the first time on Asian Movie Pulse, in order to highlight this rather neglected (by audiences at least) part of the industry, but also to showcase that brilliance knows no duration.
Without further ado, here are the best Asian short films of 2022, in random order. Some films may have premiered in 2021, but since they mostly circulated in 2022, we decided to include them.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising of ten countries in Southeast Asia, namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. Evidently, the movie industry of these countries does not yet reach the size of Japan, India and S. Korea for example, perhaps with the exception of the Philippines, at least in terms of number of titles, but through the support of foreign companies (S. Korea has invested heavily in Indonesia that last few years for example), streaming services and a number of European festivals, along with the continuous support of Busan, a number of local filmmakers have managed to produce movies of great quality. 20 of the best, we present in this list.
Without further ado, here are the best Asean films of 2022, in reverse order. Some films may have premiered in 2021, but since they mostly circulated in 2022, we decided to include them.

Six chickens weigh only five kilos. It won't even cover the trip. The judging scales fit somehow into the frame of the matching scooter. Construction jobs are growing like mushrooms and Phnom Penh beckons. Leaving behind rice country, painted boats, the flat horizon. They've left the old village, brother and sister. They are going to the city. They didn't follow them here, the ancestors. They may not follow them there.
"if you don't want to go I'll go alone", and there is their story. Bopha Oul, Phanny Loem, each of she and he create in performances made of stillnesses and silences something that succeeds. The water surges, the force of water whose energy has doubly displaced them. Water from above, the rattle of thunder. Water from below, perhaps from the stroke of a pen.
Under a sky red with dawn the long-tailed two-stroke rattles and gurgles. The boat drifts under the slender.
