East Meets West Meets East: The Art of Asian Cinema
Tuesday, January 24
2:00 pm - Filmmakers Lodge
Open to all Festival credential holders and the general public as space allows.
Not only has Asian cinema enjoyed a healthy renaissance in America over the past few years, but with a growing body of work from Asian filmmakers working in the United States, there has been a fascinating cross-pollination of themes, artists and aesthetics. What's behind this unprecedented blending of American and Asian cinema - A panel of filmmakers take up the subject of Pan-Pacific crossover and what it means to tell Eastern stories in Western ways and Western stories in Eastern ways? What are the differences, not only in storytelling and sensibility, but in production and working methods? Join us in a celebration of the art of Asian cinema.
And,....... if you ask nicely, Max might even give you your very own Celtx Tshirt!
