2004: 3rd NY Asian Film Festival

It's here! The New York Asian Film Festival is back to bring you its annual cinematic extravaganza, featuring the latest and greatest films from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand.

How do we know? Because we've watched hundreds of movies and chosen the best 20. Our line-up includes "Hero" from Zhang Yimou (and starring Jet Li and Maggie Cheung), the scariest Japanese horror movie ever made, "Juon," the latest movie from arthouse horror genius, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, "Doppelgänger," the screamingly great female samurai flick, "Azumi," the hugely successful "Infernal Affairs" from Hong Kong and much much more (including a sidebar of the original blind-samurai-with-a-bad-attitude "Zatoichi" movies).

Screenings were held from June 18–27, 2004 at Anthology Film Archives.
