Something You Should See… Asia House Pan-Asia Film Festival

Three and a Half

Some Asian film industries rule their continent, like India, which produces over a 1,000 films a year – 200 more than Hollywood – but  film from countries such as Vietnam or Indonesia barely register on the cinematic map.

And whilst many mainstream Bollywood films make it to London multiplexes, films from creative film talents in other parts of Asia and the Middle East more often than not don’t ever make it to these shores.

That’s why the Asia House Pan-Asia Film Festival – from March 9th – 18th  – will be showcasing award-winning films from countries including Iran, Kazakhstan, Tibet, Taiwan and South Korea. The lively programme features a diverse range of genres, from drama and comedy to romance and adventure, and there will be a number of Q&A sessions with cast and crew to coincide with the screenings.

Highlights of the fest include Starry Starry Night from Hong Kong (which visually, takes inspiration from  Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night),  The Tibetan The Sun Beaten Path which follows a young man’s journey from Lhasa to his home in a remote part of the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau and 11th Flower – a heart-warming, semi-autobiographical story set in the latter days of the Cultural Revolution and wraps up the festivities on March 18th.

Make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to gain unique access and insight into life across the diverse cultures and countries of the Asian continent. Not to mention witness some exciting new filmmaking talent. (Words: Aoife Moriarty)

  • Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I am shocked why this accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.

  • Throughout the awesome pattern of things you’ll get a B+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you lost me was in your facts. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more accurate in this article. Having said that, permit me say to you precisely what did do the job. Your article (parts of it) is certainly rather convincing and this is possibly why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can certainly notice a leaps in logic you make, I am not convinced of how you appear to unite your points which make the final result. For the moment I will yield to your issue but wish in the future you connect the facts much better.
