2017: 16th New York Asian Film Festival

Get wooed by die-hard romantics, unnerved by devil children, and bear witness to the fury of angry young men on paths of destruction in the sweet sixteenth edition of the New York Asian Film Festival. Wild cinematic outings that always have something to say about the human condition, this summer’s crop of titles range from the heartwarming to the desperately dark. Dive headfirst into the raging sea of talent from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and across South East Asia—filmmakers unafraid to take on controversial subjects and explore complex emotions.

On March 13 it was announced that the 16th annual New York Asian Film Festival would happen from June 30 – July 16 emanating from the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the SVA Theatre.

The NYAFF Jury Award returned in 2017 with two new categories.^[13] The 2017 NYAFF Jury Award for Best Feature was given to "Bad Genius." The award was presented to Nattawut Poonpiriya who was in attendance. Special Mention was given to "A Double Life" while Honorable Mention for Most Promising Director, aka The Brass Balls Award, was awarded to Lê Bình Giang for Vietnam's "Kfc." Jury members included indie actress Jennifer Kim, video-on-demand acquisitions executive George Schmaltz, and NYAFF super fan Kristina Winters.
