In 2016, the Academy presented several premiere screenings of Asian films at the Kyoto HISTORICA International Film Festival (KHIFF, Japan, November 2 to 13, 2016).

With the KHIFF, Asian Cinerama had a successful Opening with a presentation of AFA-winning films The Golden Era (dir. Ann Hui) and The Grandmaster (dir. Wong Kar-wai). There were altogether five commercially and critically successful Asian period films brought by the AFA Academy to illustrate the important role of the period film genre and the changing styles of period films with the rapid advancement of filmmaking techniques and technologies.
