27th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival
The 27th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival opens with Lee Yoon-ki’s MY DEAR ENEMY, a breezy, pitch-perfect ride through the streets of Seoul and into the unsuspecting world of two ex-lovers, ENEMY brims with warmth and possibility while mining the magic, mystery and foibles of human relations. Winding its way through back alleys just as it twists through the intricacies of the heart, Lee’s fourth feature is a jazzy, city-symphony road trip that sparkles with remarkable performances and subtle gestures. The 27th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival runs March 12 - 22, 2009. San Francisco: March 12 - 19, Berkeley: March 13 - 21, San Jose: March 20 - 22. Read more …

Eric Kabera, founder of the Rwanda Cinema Centre (RCC), announced that this year’s Rwanda Film Festival has been pushed to June in order for it to coincide with the popular annually celebrated Gorilla Naming Ceremony commonly known as Kwita Izina. According to Kabera, the decision to push the festival forward, which normally takes place in March annually, was for it to coincide with the Kwita Izina week to allow more film makers to attend.
