It might feel like it’s all winding down here at the New York Asian Film Festival, but we’ve got a full holiday weekend in store for New Yorkers looking for some Asian cinema entertainment.

Two more Japanese guests will join us this weekend, both of them familiar figures on the Asian cinema landscape.

Director Sion Sono comes to town for not one, but two premieres. The first is Friday night’s sold-out show of his four-hour epic about love, sex, panty photography, cults and murder, LOVE EXPOSURE. A few tickets remain for the Japan Cuts screening on July 7th, which Sono will also attend, so grab them while you can!

For filmgoers who might not be as adventurous in their screening choices—or with not enough time to devote to a four-hour film—we’ve got Sono’s newest film, BE SURE TO SHARE, making its World Premiere on Sunday night at 8:15 pm, with both Sono and lead actor Eiji Okuda in attendance. Okuda has been in everything from low-budget films to big epics to TV dramas, and he’s a director himself, with four award-winning and critically-acclaimed films under his belt. Join us Sunday night for our closing ceremony, jury awards and what’s sure to be a lively Q&A with both men.

And don’t forget that we’ve still got a half-day of screenings at the IFC Center, including newly-added midnight shows of two popular titles from earlier in the fest: the 1977 psychedelic horror trip-out HOUSE and Yoshihiro Nishimura’s critically-acclaimed high school monster romp VAMPIRE GIRL VS. FRANKENSTEIN GIRL! Tickets available NOW!
