Like vandals storming the gates of Rome, the New York Asian Film Festival rampages through the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater from June 25 to July 8, unleashing an orgy of the latest and greatest pop masterpieces Asian cinema has to offer.
For nine years, the NYAFF has been “one of the city's most valuable events“ (The New York Times), a “crazed, capricious, super-freaky mega-mix of art house and grindhouse“ (The Village Voice) and now it invades New York's premier cultural institution with over 40 blockbusters from East Asia: romantic comedies from China, mutant battle girls from Japan, kung fu epics from Hong Kong, and tourist-eating giant pig movies from Korea.
With appearances from Sammo Hung, Simon Yam, Huang Bo and Bruce Leung, this year's festival promises to do nothing less than save your moviegoing soul.
Screenings were held from June 25 – July 8, 2010 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the IFC Center and Japan Society.
