  For director Ryoo Seung-wan, the drab cold war atmosphere still inherent in Berlin evoked the divided Korean Peninsula, the last outpost of the that era. Accordingly, the city's gray backdrop and its history of division helped get his creative juices flowing for "The Berlin File", his upcoming espionage action thriller set in the German capital following North and South Korean secret agents. "I visited Berlin to attend the Berlin International Film Festival in 2011 for my previous work, 'The Unjust'.

  The New York Asian Film Festival (June 29 - July 15) returns - and this year we're bringing crazy back!
  2012/05/09, Source,
    The opening night film is Pang Ho-cheung's astonishingly filthy, extremely hilarious VULGARIA, a movie about making movies, shot in just 12 days, all about gangsters named Brother Tyrannosaur, sleazy lawyers, The Sex Film industry, and men who love donkeys a little too much. The Hollywood Reporter calls it a "...laugh-out-loud, aptly titled comedy". Pang himself, Hong Kong's hottest young director, will be a guest of the festival and we'll be presenting his new romantic comedy, LOVE IN THE BUFF, about a couple who meet in the smoke break alley outside their office building and try to make their romance work despite cell phones dropped in toilets, friends who have the death touch, and corporate moves to Beijing,...More
