6th Asian Film Symposium - 9-17 Sept

Six years already? Kudos to The Substation's "Moving Images" programme! Now, if only they would schedule their lectures and panels after office hours so white-collar slaves like me can attend.

Lots of short films in the programming as usual, and the featured filmmaker this year is Taiwanese documentarian Wu Yii-Feng (吳乙峰). His work about the aftermath of the 1999 Taiwan earthquakes Gift of Life (生命) will close the festival.

Amir Muhammad will also be back in town with The Year of Living Vicariously (Ada Apa Dengan Indonesia?). If you missed it at SIFF '05, now's your chance to catch it again.

Film info isn't up yet, but the schedule and background info are:
