Mark your calendar: THE 8th EDITION OF THE NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE JUNE 19 - JULY 5, 2009!
We congratulate the New York Asian Film Festival 2008 Winners!
Audience Award Winner: FINE, TOTALLY FINE!
However, because the voting is only half scientific (we use magic for the other half) we also want to recognize the achievements of the five top-ranked movies out of the 43 we showed. They are:
1) FINE, TOTALLY FINE
2) ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET 2
3) KING NARESUAN 2
4) PUBLIC ENEMY RETURNS
5) SPARROW
This year, for the first time, NYAFF had a jury. And that jury gave out awards!
