The Festival

Where Borneo plays. Where the world watches.

The Borneo Animation & Games Festival supports Sarawak's vision to become a leading digital and creative-economy hub. It brings together studios, publishers, investors, students and pop-culture fans to nurture local talent, attract industry, and connect Borneo's creators with global opportunities.

Built around hornbill motifs, longboat journeys and Borneo's craft traditions, BAGF is rooted in heritage and pointed firmly at what is next.
