A Firecracker of an Asian line-up

15th Aug 05



A <b>Firecracker</b> of an Asian line-up Firecracker Magazine have now announced their line-up for the Firecracker Showcase 2005: London’s East Asian film festival, and what a (fire)cracking assortment of films there are too, with over 40 films in total – most of them UK Premieres – being screened over four venues and eleven days (September 8th-18th).

Covering a whole genre of movies from thrillers to kung fu epics to love stories and cult oddities, the festival is guaranteed to contain something for everyone, whether it be a brand new Asian classic, or the chance to catch a neglected gem on the big screen.

Highlights include Sth Korean movie A Bittersweet Life, Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle , Kim Ki-duk’s Samaritan Girl, The Bodyguard (directed by Ong-Bak’s co-star, Petchtai Wonghamlau), the first Thai Zombie movie experience Sars Wars and an all-night Sonny Chiba Triple Bill.

As well as the full festival listings below, there will also be Firecracker Nite Movies, four pre-midnight screenings of Premonition, Sars Wars, Say Yes and Gagamboy at the Gate in Notting Hill on Fri 9th, Sat 10th, Fri 16th and Sat 17th repesctively.
