Scheduled for Aug. 14 - 21, the 7th annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas will feature over 40 films highlighting the diversity of experience of Asian internationals, Asian Americans and related groups. Films from 10 countries - including Japan, China, Korea and the Philippines - will be shown.
Landmark's Magnolia Theater will again be hosting the festival screenings of films whose thematic material ranges from lyrical beauty to the bleeding edge of modern film expression. Here's your (perhaps one and only) chance to catch these films on the big screen, before they attain US distribution - or disappear forever.
Included in the eight days of film screenings will be the following opening night and closing night features:
* Ping Pong Playa, by Jessica Yu, award-winning dir. of Breathing Lessons and In the Realms of the Unreal. Both Jessica and lead actor Jimmy Tsai will be in attendance on the festival's opening night, Aug. 14, at 7 p.m.
* The closing night film is Be A Man! Samurai School, by first-time director and cult film acting favorite Tak Sakaguchi (Versus, Death Trance). Tak will be in attendance at the evening's screening.
Check out the AFFD website for further details and updates, or to purchase your VIP festival passes: only $75 through July 25.
