East Winds: A Third Window Film Festival will be staged between 11th and 13th February 2011.
According to the distributor Third Window Films, who are staging the festival in conjunction with the Coventry University East Asian Film Society, the goal of the event “is to raise awareness of Asian cinema to a university crowd who might normally not have much chance to catch Asian cinema on the big screen.”
With a 220-seater cinema at the University of Warwick, the event is promising cheap ticket prices and a variety of films from all over Asia – “a new type of cinema.”
Amongst the films being shown are:
Confessions (Director: Tetsuya Nakashima)
A grief-stricken schoolteacher acts on her suspicions that her students were responsible for the death of her daughter.
Kick The Moon (Director: Kim Sang-jin)
A follow-up to the Korean box-office smash hit Attack The Gas Station. A hilarious tale of romance gone wrong!
