View of the Arts is an online publication dedicated to films, music, and the arts, with a strong focus on the Asian entertainment industry. Alongside in-depth features on emerging and established musicians, we provide thoughtful coverage of cinema, from independent films to international releases, exploring the stories and work that bring them to life. Through interviews, reviews, and features, we connect our readers with the voices and visions driving the cultural landscape today.

As proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community, we stand firmly in support of LGBTQIA+ rights. It is of utmost importance to us to advocate for and uplift the voices of our community, supporting an environment of inclusivity, respect, and celebration of diversity.

We are also proud to announce that since 2024, View of the Arts has been a Web Media Partner for the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy – one of the largest Asian film festivals in Europe. In addition, View of the Arts supports and collaborates with the FEFF Campus – a dynamic training initiative designed for aspiring media and film professionals under 26. Bringing together five participants from Europe and five from Asia, the programme offers hands-on experience in film journalism, festival operations, and industry networking.
