Luang Prabang is a popular tourist destination in its own right and regularly enjoys thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. This coming December the various Luang Prabang city centre hotels will be in higher demand than usual thanks to the film festival bringing additional people to town.

The film festival takes place from December 3rd to December 10th and attendees can look forward to enjoying the very best of Laotian cinema. Films being shown at this year's event include Little Heart, Adela, Bombhunters 2006, 18 Grams of Love, The Maid, Papadom and The Photograph.
