This year the Terracotta Far East Film Festival is a little bit earlier: 12th - 15th April @ The Prince Charles cinema in London.
I'll be previewing the festival with a special programme on Resonance FM on Friday 30th March @ 8pm GMT. I will joined by festival organiser Joey Leung to discuss the films in this year's festival programme.
There are some exciting films on offer, including a special preview of the new animated classic From Up On Poppy Hill from the legendary Studio Ghibli.
Korean epic My Way opens the festival, with a pan Asian cast of Jang Dong-gun, Joe Odagiri and Fan Bingbing.
The first film ever to be shot in Burma shows on the Friday: Return to Burma / Gui lái dí rén, which depicts the story of Wang Xing-Hong who is living as an immigrant laborer in Taiwan saving his money to return home to Burma.
Friday night also brings some terror to Leicester Square with a special Terror-Cotta (geddit?) triple bill of spine tinglers: Gyo, The Grudge and Zombie 108.
I'm most excited about the European premiere of Daniel Wu & Kevin Spacey film Inseparable! A superhero dark comedy set in HK - with a Hollywood star (also London-lover, Old Vic director and all round nice guy!).
Japanese auteur Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Cold Fish) closes the festival with the UK premiere of 'Himizu'.
