New York, NY (June 22, 2023)<\/b> \u2013\u00a0Tickets go on sale June 23 at 12pm ET for the 22nd edition of the New York Asian Film Festival<\/a> (NYAFF), presented by the New York Asian Film Foundation<\/a> and Film at Lincoln Center<\/a> (FLC), running from July 14\u201330, 2023 at FLC, with a special weekend of screenings (July 21\u201323) at a new venue, the historic Barrymore Film Center<\/a> in Fort Lee, New Jersey, the birthplace of the motion picture industry in America.<\/p>\n

The 22nd edition will include eight world premieres, nine international premieres, thirty-two North American premieres, three U.S. premieres, and sixteen East Coast\/New York premieres, showcasing the most exciting new action, comedy, drama, thriller, romance, horror, and art-house films from Hong Kong, Japan, China, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\n

NYAFF is pleased to unveil the nine wildly diverse and remarkable titles nominated for this year\u2019s Uncaged Award for Best Feature Film Competition<\/b>, which shines a spotlight on feature filmmakers whose singular cinematic visions should be internationally heralded, and celebrates their passion, imagination, and willingness to take risks.The winner of the Uncaged Award will be selected by a jury<\/b>, composed of prominent figures from the film industry bridging Asia and the United States, to be announced.<\/p>\n

The Uncaged Award nominees are: The Abandoned<\/i><\/b> (Tseng Ying-ting, Taiwan), a masterful blend of police procedural with psychological themes and social issues, as a female cop pursues a serial killer; Abang Adik<\/i><\/b> (Jin Ong, Malaysia), a raw, neorealist drama about two immigrant brothers whose unshakeable bond is sorely tried by an unspeakable act; Back Home<\/i><\/b> (Nate Ki, Hong Kong), a hallucinogenic horror opus in which a young man who can see ghosts returns to his childhood home and is trapped in a waking nightmare; Faces of Anne<\/i><\/b> (Rasiguet Sookkarn and Kongdej Jaturanrasmee, Thailand), a horror thriller that examines, in high-concept fashion, profound and daunting questions about identity and the meaning of life; Flaming Cloud<\/i><\/b> (Liu Siyi, China), an exquisite homage to Disney movies and Chinese folklore in which a young man embarks on a phantasmagorical journey; Greenhouse<\/i><\/b> (Lee Sol-hui, South Korea), a gripping, slow-burn drama-cum-thriller about a woman whose plans to be reunited with her son are shockingly upended; Home Sweet Home<\/i><\/b> (Takumi Saitoh, Japan), a sublime horror story in which the perfect family buys the perfect house, only to discover that it is not; Mountain Onion<\/i><\/b> (Eldar Shibanov, Kazakhstan), a hilariously offbeat family comedy in which two resourceful siblings embark on a journey to save their parents\u2019 failing marriage; and Redemption with Life<\/i><\/b> (Zhang Wei, China), a dark meditation on capitalistic corruption in which classic codes of honor and loyalty are put to the ultimate test.<\/p>\n

The NYAFF 2023 Centerpiece Film<\/b> is the International Premiere of Lee Byeong-heon\u2019s Dream<\/i>, one of the year\u2019s most highly anticipated blockbusters, with the director in attendance. Both pulse-raising and heartwarming, the story is inspired by the real-life Korean team that participated in the 2010 Homeless World Cup, featuring South Korea\u2019s superstar Park Seo-joon as a virtuoso soccer player-turned-coach and K-pop sensation Lee Ji-eun, best known to the world as IU, as cynical producer.<\/p>\n

NYAFF\u2019s 2023 Screen International<\/i><\/b> Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award <\/b>will go to maverick filmmaker Junji Sakamoto<\/b>, a singular writer-director who has primarily worked outside Japan\u2019s studio system and challenged himself to do something utterly different with each film. Even after 30 films, five of them shot partially overseas, he continues to produce surprising work that shares little more with his earlier titles than a male-centric focus, sumptuous visuals, provocative characters, and a humanist heart. Since his debut nearly 35 years ago, Sakamoto has genre-hopped with enviable dexterity and no fear of controversial topics, creating work that is both bold and poetic, including Face<\/i> (2000), KT<\/i> (2002), Children of the Dark<\/i> (NYAFF 2008), The Projects<\/i> (2016), Ernesto<\/i> (2017), and My Brother, the Android and Me<\/i> (2022). He will appear at NYAFF with his latest masterwork, the jidaigeki<\/i> eco-fable Okiku and the World<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Inaugurated last year, NYAFF\u2019s 2023 Best from the East Award <\/b>honors a singularly outstanding performance in a film, and this year, the award is being bestowed on Korean actress-musician Lee Hanee<\/b>, star of NYAFF\u2019s Opening Film, Killing Romance<\/i>. Lee\u2019s absolutely dazzling comedic performance as a former superstar whose would-be dream marriage takes her to the depths of an existential hell and back proves the actress an unstoppable force of nature. Also not to be missed is her turn as a total badass (who may or may not be a spy) busting heads and taking names in Lee Hae-young\u2019s Phantom<\/i>. She will be on hand late in the festival to receive her award and introduce the screenings of both films. A beauty queen, taekwondo black belt, scuba diver, competitive skier, prodigy of traditional Korean music, and Goodwill Ambassador, Lee was a television host and musical theater star before embarking on her illustrious career as a film and TV actress in 2009. Recent highlights include her star turns in megahit Extreme Job <\/i>(2019), Black Money <\/i>(2019), and her role in NYAFF 2022 closing film, Alienoid <\/i>(2022).<\/p>\n

As previously announced, the 2023 Screen International<\/i> Rising Star Asia Award<\/b> goes to Japanese star Ryohei Suzuki<\/b>, many of whose films have been screened at NYAFF in the past. The busy actor first earned international attention for his role in HK: Forbidden Super Hero<\/i> (NYAFF 2013), as well as Tokyo Tribe<\/i> (NYAFF 2015) and One Night<\/i> (NYAFF 2019). His performance in Last of the Wolves<\/i> (NYAFF 2021) won him Best Supporting Actor accolades at the Japan Academy Prize, among many others. He will be on stage for the award ceremony and a Q&A for his latest film, Egoist<\/i>.<\/p>\n

NYAFF\u2019s 2023 Daniel A. Craft Award for Excellence in Action Cinema<\/b> will go to wunderkind Thai filmmaker Lee Thongkham<\/b> for his outrageous action movie sendup Kitty the Killer<\/i>, an anarchic tale of female assassins that goes for the jugular with gleeful abandon.<\/i> He started Thongkham Films during the throes of the pandemic, directing its inaugural feature, The Maid <\/i>(2020). The gonzo horror movie became the first Thai Netflix Original Film. Lee next directed the Thai-Chinese kaiju<\/i> movie, The Lake <\/i>(2022). He then produced the insane slasher satire Night of the Killer Bears <\/i>(2023). Thongkham Films has already proven a production powerhouse with several more ambitious projects in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Also previously announced, actor and producer Louis Koo<\/b>, one of Hong Kong\u2019s biggest stars, is being honored with NYAFF\u2019s Extraordinary Star Asia Award<\/b>. Koo will be on stage for the award ceremony, as well as to introduce his new heart-thumping lifesaving drama Vital Signs<\/i><\/b>.He also appears with compatriot legends Aaron Kwok and Sean Lau for the first time on the big screen in genre maestro Herman Yau\u2019s The White Storm 3: Heaven or Hell<\/i><\/b>. Making its North American premiere at NYAFF, the latest entry of the hit franchise ratchets up the gonzo action while blurring the lines between good and evil.<\/p>\n

NYAFF is delighted to welcome even more creative forces from across Asia and the diaspora to meet the audience in New York: singer-dancer-actor Anson Kong<\/b>, a member of Cantopop supergroup Mirror and star of Uncaged Competition film Back Home<\/i>, along with the film\u2019s director, Nate Ki<\/b>; actor Gong Myoung<\/i><\/b>,<\/i> who showcases his versatile ability in Killing Romance <\/i>after starring in TV series Lovers of the Red Sky<\/i> and blockbuster Extreme Job<\/i>. Japanese star Takumi Saitoh<\/b>, director of the Uncaged Competition film Home Sweet Home<\/i>; Rebound<\/i> director Chang Hang-jun<\/b>; Kwak Eun-mi<\/b>, director of A Tour Guide<\/i>, about a young North Korean defector; Anastasia Tsang<\/b>, director of the love letter to nighttime Hong Kong, A Light Never Goes Out<\/i>; Wanweaw Hongvivatana<\/b> and Weawwan Hongvivatana<\/b>, directors of Thai teen romance You & Me & Me<\/i>; director Isher Sahota <\/b>and producer Jon Tarcy<\/b> with their hilarious diasporic film, The Effects of Lying<\/i>; Aizzah Fatima<\/b>, writer-star of NYAFF 2020\u2019s Audience Award winner Americanish<\/i> and moderator for The Effects of Lying<\/i> Q&A session; Laha Mebow<\/b>, Taiwan\u2019s first indigenous female director; Philippines director Quark Henares <\/b>and actress EJ Jallorina<\/b> with Where Is the Lie?<\/i>; and Eunice Lau<\/b>, director of the hard-hitting documentary A-Town Boyz<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The Monday Matsuri to Midnight <\/b>event takes place all afternoon and evening on July 24, with screenings of Japanese films, Japanese music, and Japanese delicacies.<\/p>\n
