2nd Annual Asian-European Film Showcase
Published on | Source
Love in Asia and Europe
Expanding to feature four Asian and four European countries, this second annual showcase, focusing on the theme of romantic love, features films from Japan, France, Korea, Italy, China, Spain, India, and Germany. The medium of film provides a unique opportunity to view and compare cultures in Asia and Europe.
How is love portrayed in Asian and European film? How do couples relate to one another? What changes and differences are evident within cultures?
Over the course of two weeks, pairings of Asian and European short films, many of which won national and international awards, will screen on eight evenings, followed by discussions addressing the films' cultural contexts and topics. The closing evening will present a short film from each country, followed by a discussion and reception.
