NYAFF Guests!

Posted: under Uncategorized.

We just confirmed who’s going to be at this year’s New York Asian Film Festival and here’s the list of guests and when they’ll be at screenings.

THEN SUMMER CAME (Friday, June 20 @ 8pm) – director Ryo Iwamatsu will be introducing the screening of this new Joe Odagiri/Yoshio Harada father/son film and he’ll be conducting a Q&A afterwards. Tickets for this one are almost sold out, so get yours now! (Tickets here)

MISE EN SCENE SHORT FILM PROGRAMS ONE AND TWO (Friday, June 27 @ 3:45pm; Saturday, June 28 @ 3pm) – short film director Park Jae-Young will introduce both screenings and conduct a Q&A afterwards. His film, OUR PUPPY, OUR FAMILY is one of the best Korean movies of 2007 and it’ll be playing the second short film program. (Program One Tickets and Program Two Tickets)

M (Tuesday, July 1 @ 7pm) – director Lee Myung-Se (NOWHERE TO HIDE, DUELIST) will be introducing his dreamy love story, M, and conducting a Q&A afterwards. If you’ve ever attended a Q&A with him you’ll know that he’s going to leave you with your head spinning. Favorite moment: during the New Directors/New Films screening of NOWHERE TO HIDE he was asked to explain the movie and instead told a surreal story about fishing, leaving the audience highly entertained but leaving the programmers a bit flummoxed.

ACTION BOYS (Thursday, July 3 @ 9pm) – the director, producer and one of the stuntmen from this brutal documentary about the stunt industry appear onstage to do some stunts, intro the film and conduct a Q&A afterwards. Very outspoken, if you ever had a question about the underbelly of the Korean film industry then these are the guys who’ll tell you about it. They were thrown off the set of THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD injured on CITY OF VIOLENCE, terrified on THE HOST and they have experienced pretty much every trauma and humiliation known to filmmaking. This is one that you absolutely shouldn’t miss. (Tickets here)
