Not to be a shill, but I'm one of the losers who runs the New York Asian Film Festival (June 22 - July 8 in, where else, New York). We just announced our line-up and schedule and you can see them over here.
Besides eating my life, the festival's actually a fun place to see brand new Asian pop madness, a little bit of which is:
THE BANQUET - a martial arts version of Hamlet
HELL'S GROUND - Pakistan's first splatter film
AACHI & SSIPAK - totally offensive Korean animated sci fi flick that looks like Bakshi on meth with some eye-popping action including a version of the mine car chase from INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM that cranks the meters into the red until they start to smoke.
BIG BANG LOVE, JUVENILE A - Takashi Miike's gay prison love story...based on a manga and with rocketships.
ZEBRAMAN - an ode to superhero fandom
The DEATH NOTE movies.
NEVER BELONGS TO ME - featuring an assassin with a gun for a penis that can only shoot bullets when he sees ballet dancers.
MEMORIES OF MATSUKO - a musical about a dead bag lady.
DASEPO NAUGHTY GIRLS - a pro-prostitution musical about teenagers fucking like rabbits when they're not defeating mythical monsters with team masturbation.
And more...
Not trying to be a shill but I thought folks might enjoy the write-ups if nothing else. Just click on the big picture to get into the site. |
