The award has six categories, including Female Asia Star and Male Asia Star.

Vietnamese actor Issac was named to receive the Rising Star of Asia Star Award at the 21st Busan International Festival.
“I’m honoured to be at the Busan International Film Festival at the invitation of the festival’s organiser and Marie Claire magazine. It was a real surprise to me when I was named to receive A Rising Star award,” Issac wrote on his Facebook page after receiving the award.
Before being known as an actor, Issac, whose real name is Pham Luu Tuan Tai, was the leader of 365daband, one of the most popular boy bands in Vietnam. But the band broke up last July.
He also played the main role in director Le Bao Trung’s comedy Gia Su Nu Quai (Tutor and Naughty Girl) in 2012.
Tam Cam: The Untold Story and Thanh Pho Cua Nhung Tam Guong: Mot Tieu Su Hu Cau (The City of Mirrors: A Fictional Biography) by Truong Minh Quy were included in A Window on Asian Cinema, one of ten main sections of the festival.
A Window on Asia Cinema is dedicated to new cinematic works by Asian film producers, which will be introduced along with other excellent films of the year to represent new cinematic trends of the continent.
The Busan International Film Festival, that was held annually in Busan, the Republic of Korea since 1996, is one of the most important cinematic events in Asia.
This year’s festival screens films from 69 countries.
