Hello all! I work for a NYC indie film distributer and we are showing the movie DEFECTORS, Nov. 4th and Nov. 5th featuring a Q & A by the filmmaker Hyun Kyung Kim and co producer Ross McElwee at Laemmle Glendale and Monica. We are reaching out to some LA locals to spread the word about this beautiful film that will be showcased tomorrow and Thursday!

We are distributing the movie Defectors directed by Hyun Kyung Kim and co-produced by Ross McElwee. DEFECTORS explores the lasting effects of the Korean War, displacement, and intergenerational trauma through Kim's own family’s history and encounters with a North Korean defector. There will be a Q and A after each feature with the filmmaker and producer.

Here is a link to the trailer and more info about the film: https://www.laemmle.com/film/defectors

Has anyone seen it? Any good? Trailer looks fun. I see it’s opening in Boston next Thursday, thinking of checking it out.

I know I know, how can one not have seen anything staring Jackie Chan before! I am very very late lol but I’ve been getting into martial arts movies recently. I received my copy of Magnificent bodyguards today. It is the 3D version by 88films. I really like the packaging and the contents and the movie was great to watch in old school 3D Anaglyph. It was a fun movie to watch!

Can you recommend any other great movies? I have yet to watch anything with Bruce Lee in either. I enjoy 88films and arrow video. Let me know if there are any other labels I should check out.

Here are some photos of magnificent bodyguard along with my other films in my collection! My movie collection is a bit all over the place at the moment as I don’t have a dedicated Asian section yet.

I'm looking for a movie called "Bakchha", 2007, defined as the first bhutanese horror movie, directed by Tshering Wangyel. There's really few info about him, I've tried in many archives, but i got nothing

where could I possibly find to watch the loop (2024) which was first release in Estonia during the tallin black film festival

My MIL is desperately trying to remember the title of a movie she would like to re-watch and none of the AI, Google, etc has been of any help. So hopefully the power of humans will work.

Movie takes place in a rural beachside/fishing village. The woman in the movie is dying of some terminal something - but she is not old and doesn't lose her hair (so probably not cancer?). The movie features her husband and child (she doesn't remember if it's a boy or a girl). The movie features lots of scenes of clouds, gardens/trees, wind and sky and the passage of time she observes from her bed. She is eventually bedridden by the end of the film. Her friends, possibly a singing group from a religious group that she is part of, come to her house to sing with her towards the end of the movie. Then her family moves her bed into the garden where she can observe nature and the sky as she dies.

MIL believes it is a Japanese movie, but could be Korean. She said it might be black and white but isn't sure - but that it isn't garishly colorful. She says it is delicate and poignant.

Not sure if this will help much but she saw it in a movie theater in São Paulo (probably an art exposition so not necessarily a major theatrical release) subtitled in Portuguese. She said she came across it in a streaming service also subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese but looking through them she hasn't found it.

Help.

An event happening from time to time.
