What can you do in Paris in September 2026? Head to Beaugrenelle for the Festival des Séries d'Asie (FSA) on September 5 and 6, 2026. For two days, the capital becomes the epicenter of K-dramas, C-dramas, anime, and all the gems of Asian television, with preview screenings, masterclasses, meetings with professionals, and activities for all audiences. A festival entirely dedicated to Asian series—a first in Paris Fans of Korean, Chinese, or Thai dramas, this festival is for you. The FSA is the first Paris event devoted entirely to Asian series and Franco-Asian co-productions. Its ambition is to introduce the wider public to the richness of this booming genre while creating a professional space for creators, broadcasters, and producers in the industry. On the program for this immersive weekend: - Preview screenings featuring a selection of series from across Asie - Masterclasses led by audiovisual industry professionals - Meetings and discussions with guests from the worlds of film and television - An outdoor exhibitor area, food trucks, and activities organized by associations - Competitions and games centered on Asian culture and screenwriting Where and when? - Dates: Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6, 2026 - Venues: la Dalle Beaugrenelle and l'ESRA Paris [37 quai de Grenelle], in the 15ᵉ arrondissement - Hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., with two full days to see everything - Audience: open to everyone, including drama fans, curious visitors, and industry professionals Why go? Paris already has its film festivals and conventions dedicated to Japanese pop culture, but until now, no event had celebrated Asian series as a whole: Korean, Chinese, Thai, and more. The FSA fills this gap with programming designed both for drama-loving audiences and for audiovisual professionals seeking new talent and partnerships. It is also an opportunity to: - Discover series not yet released in France - Meet and talk with creators and speakers from Asie, Europe, and France - Enjoy an outdoor village with food and Asian associations - Take part in a short-form writing competition (48H Short Drama Writing Competition) Practical information Find the full program, confirmed guests, and booking details on the festival's official website: festival-series-asie.com The Festival des Séries d'Asie is organized as a nonprofit association (under the French 1901 law) and goes beyond being a simple cultural event: it also works to promote Asian culture and combat stereotypes.
