The New York Asian Film Festival (June 29 - July 15) returns - and this year we’re bringing crazy back!
The opening night film is Pang Ho-cheung’s astonishingly filthy, extremely hilarious VULGARIA, a movie about making movies, shot in just 12 days, all about gangsters named Brother Tyrannosaur, sleazy lawyers, the sex film industry, and men who love donkeys a little too much. The Hollywood Reporter calls it a “...laugh-out-loud, aptly titled comedy.” Pang himself, Hong Kong's hotte...
For the last five consecutive years JAPAN CUTS, the New York festival of contemporary Japanese Cinema has been embedded in the New York Asian Film Festival and steadily gained in importance. There are now more films from Japan at the NY Asian Film Festival than from any other country. Programmed during the Film Festival, at the Walter Read Theater and the Japan Society from July 1-14, 35 Japanese films were shown. It included 32 new titles, mostly premieres which were presented only once. Th...
When I first covered the festival numerous years ago at the downtown Anthology Film Archives, I was struck by several features not encountered in any of the other established festivals. The organizers of the festival performed antics on the stage before the films and threw presents like videos and books into the audience. They were greeted by an adoring and enthusiastic crowd who seemed to be familiar with directors and principal characters of the films screened. In short an audience addicted to...
Are you ready for controversial maverick, TAKASHI MIIKE, Japan`s #1 current director. Mikke is a virtual volcano of moviemaking and you are invited to come suck up his lava. Titles incl. CITY OF LOST SOULS, AUDITION, & HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS.

The New York Asian Film Festival is back. And it's five years old! Five years ago, the five of us in Subway Cinema had no film festival experience, no money, no connections - nothing but an intense love for Asian films and a large amount of stupidity that made us think we could put together a film festival focusing on the best contemporary Asian movies.Five years later we still have no money, we still have no connections, and we're still stupid. But somehow we've premiered movies from Suzuki Sei...
Rarely does a film festival stress popular and commercially successful movies, dispenses with intellectual and high brow aspiration, disregards art house films, and provides little or no amenities to journalist and media professionals. Yet the 4th annual New York Asian Film Festival presented thirty new Asian feature films not screened before in New York City in two venues, the venerable Anthology Film Archives and the uptown Imaginasian Theatre, In spite of the lack of festival accoutrement...

This year's NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL saw the Korean film, PLEASE TEACH ME ENGLISH, win the Audience Award by a landslide.Both screenings of ENGLISH sold out in short order, and a third screening was added for the overflow audiences.ENGLISH is a manic, hyperactive comedy about learning English as a second language in Korea, and it also features an incredibly cute little pig who can count. Korean comedies are that country's secret weapon, and it's great to see them so appreciated by our audien...
