NATIONAL FESTIVAL TOUR

Asian CineVision is proud to announce the 2007-08 National Festival Tour from the 30th Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF). The only touring festival of its kind in the country, the National Festival Tour annually features select feature, short, documentary, and experimental films presented in the previous year's festival. This year we offer rental of more than 50 films from the 2007 AAIFF.

The National Festival Tour is a unique opportunity to bring Asian American film programming to your organization or community that your audience may not be able to see else where. With a percentage of the rental fees going to the filmmakers, it's also a great way that your organization or community can directly support Asian American artists.

PAST and PRESENT TOUR SITES INCLUDE (sample list):
Amherst College / Arizona State University / Asian Pacific Film Festival of Florida / Columbia University / Fordham University / Goldman Sachs / Honolulu Academy of the Arts / Las Vegas/Clark County Library District / New York University / The Redhouse / University of Michigan / University of Colorado, Boulder / Yale University

In 2007, we have also taken the Tour to a number of universities in Hong Kong, as part of the 1st Asian American Film Festival.

FILMS

The National Festival Tour annually features select feature and short films presented in the previous year's Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF). This year we offer rental of more than 50 films from the 30th Asian American International Film Festival.

Features
The narrative features include a number of films that have been winning prizes and generating buzz on the film festival circuit. Whether it's about adoption, finding redemption in seedy L.A., or spinning multiple stories like baumkuchen, these films represent the best of indie film creativity and imagination.

The line-up of documentary features is especially strong this year, with the participation of NA KAMALEI: THE MEN OF HULA, which won the 2007 AAIFF Emerging Director in Documentary Feature Award. Just as illuminating and thought-provoking are the other two documentaries that deal with challenging subject matter.

Made in Korea: A One-Way Ticket Seoul-Amsterdam
Motherland Cuba Korea USA
Na Kamalei: The Men of Hula

Shorts programs
The art of the short film is a remarkable feat in that takes a director only ten minutes to stir in her audience the same excitement and intrigue that a feature film does in over an hour. What a short filmmaker can do with a single glance, word or angle proves her ability to alter the entire landscape of a film with perceptive subtleties. These films -- that run the gamut from narrative to documentary, animation to experimental -- make a compelling case for brevity in filmmaking.

All short films are packaged in different programs according to theme like gender and love.
