	Southeast Asian cinema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Southeast Asian cinema refers to the film industry and films produced in, and/or by natives of, Southeast Asia.
		Southeast Asian cinema is a sub-section of continental Asian cinema, which in turn comes under the umbrella term of World cinema, a term used to describe any foreign language films.

	screenonline: Asian-British Cinema
		British Asian filmmaking has its roots in the 'Black' politics of the 1960s and '70s, as two distinct communities, Asians and African-Caribbeans, were melded together through their common experiences as racial minorities within the UK, often living under the threat of poverty and social exclusion.
		Asian filmmakers at this time often explored - in low-budget independent productions - issues relating to cultural activism, the fight against racism and the dilemmas of identity created by living 'between' two cultures.
		Some Asian filmmakers were increasingly commercially orientated, concerned with depicting a vibrant and diverse British Asian experience as well as exploring mainstream themes.

	FIPRESCI - Festival Reports - Hong Kong 04 - Asian Cinema
		With such a large presence of Asian films in the festival, one could easily spot new trends emerging in Asian cinema, though countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were not represented at the festival.
		In the 20th century, the Asian cinema was nurtured by masters who had their contrasting style of film-making – stunningly mounted action sequences in Kurosawa's cinema, consummate passions in Ozu's, Satyajit Ray's simple, lyrical narrative style.
		The young Asian directors of the 21st century seem to be replacing the styles of the old masters.

	In Search of Asian American Cinema by Peter Feng Cineaste
		In that sense, 'Asian American' is not a cultural term at all, nor even an ethnic label, but rather the name of a coalition of Americans who have come to realize that their political situation - determined in part by how Asians are seen by outsiders - requires them to act together.
		Although the appellation of 'Asian American Cinema' may be a fair accompli, many Asian American filmmakers are not happy with the ways that some of these festivals organize their screenings.
		There is a difference between Asian American Cinema and the 'Asian American Cinema Movement,' a term which I use to describe the community orientation and the palpable sense of discovery which pervades the Seventies films.

	Is Corean (Korean) Cinema the New HK Cinema? \| Asian American Issues \| GoldSea
		Is Corean (Korean) Cinema the New HK Cinema?
		Asian cinema even with HK in the vanguard is a pale immitation of Hollywood--and yes, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but Miramax is Hollywood.
		We should be supporting asian cinema as a whole, considering the fact taht I havent' seen anything ANYTHING out of the entire Asian film industry that could serious challenge Lord of the Rings.

	Hidden Face: Asian Cinema and the Sydney Film Festival
		One session was devoted to Asian cinema and the “enormously significant role” it has played in the history of the SFF.
		Here was the SFF patting itself on the back for its championing of Asian cinema, secure in its belief that it is indeed representing the region in a significant way.
		And while it would be too strong a criticism to suggest the Festival is ignoring its Asian neighbours, it is certainly true that the region comes at the tail end of a field dominated by European and American cinema.

		It promises to be a lively exchange of discourses and, indeed, commitment has been made by Asian Cinema (published semi-annually in the U.S.) and Asian Eye (published semi-annually in Canada) to reserve the conference proceedings for a double-issue of each journal.
		Asian Cinema is an academic journal of critical essays on cinema, analytical reviews of films, interviews with film directors, news of conferences on Asian cinemas, and, occasionally, bibliographies to assist readers in their research.
		Asian Eye publishes analytical essays, informative interviews with directors and stars, news and reviews of new film or video releases and film festivals.

	[KFCC] Letter to Miramax
		Miramax has pushed back several times already the release date of one of the most popular Asian movie of all time, “Shaolin Soccer,” which is now one of the most downloaded movies on the Internet (Wired.com).
		However, now the only opportunity for fans of Asian cinema to buy these movies in their original form is now being threatened.
		These sites, which actually promote Asian films in advance of North American releases, do not sell imports and in Kung Fu Cinema’s case, have ceased to earn commissions from overseas affiliates once it was made clear that this was a violation of Miramax’s copyrights.

	Hollywood -- not so gung-ho about Asian cinema
		Many people wanted to play the film as a story of familial relationships, ignoring, in turn, the intracultural conflicts in the Asian community that lay at the heart of the film, she added.
		Asian characters are usually either male computer nerds or demure females who are sexually attractive and speak in broken English, Wei added.
		And many films dealing with Asians aren't produced because there is not an Asian actor around who Hollywood sees as commercially viable, McGettigan said.

	Yale > East Asian Languages and Literatures > Graduate Program
		The study of an East Asian cinema requires considerable knowledge of both film studies and the history and culture of the region, and is thus a field often best pursued through combined interdisciplinary study in film and Asian literature or culture.
		Students must develop considerable knowledge not only of their East Asian cinema, but also of East Asian literature unrelated to film, and cinema apart from East Asian film.
		Yale supports study in East Asian cinema through a university-wide commitment to information exchange, cooperative research, the acquisition of resources (films, books, magazines, etc.) and through events such as conferences, film series, and lectures.

	RusFilm-2002: Central Asian Cinema. Reviewing the Past
		The second part of the series, Global Amnesia and the Politics of Cultural Space: Contemporary Central Asian Cinema (Moscow), was dominated by the mutual exchange of gazes between the film community from the Russian Federation and that of Central Asia–that is, between a former center and a former periphery.
		Central to this part is the appropriation of Western (and Eastern) film genres–film noir, the road film, the samurai film and the spaghetti Western, the magic journey–by a new generation of Central Asia filmmakers.
		Some Western and Russian critics argue that mastery of the film industry's dominant genres is proof that recent Central Asian films are directed primarily at a international film-festival audience, not a domestic one, either regional or national.
