2018: 17th New York Asian Film Festival

Our annual survey of essential – and often wild – films is New York’s most exhaustive selection of titles from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other countries across Southeast Asia. NYAFF features contemporary premieres and classic titles, plus a host of in-person appearances and Q&As with up-and-coming and established stars and auteurs.

Screenings were held from June 29 – July 15, 2018 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and SVA Theater.
