New Looks at Asian Cinema 2022-2023 - Asian Film Festival Barcelona

Program proposal that Casa Asia will develop on a weekly basis throughout the year at the Paz cinema (Madrid) in collaboration with MK2, from mid-October 2022.

Attached below is a list of films by country, in alphabetical order, to facilitate the viewing of the program presented and the corresponding films available, for which we have made arrangements for screening, translation and subtitling rights, which we are committed to deliver to Cine Paz for screening, as part of the project we will share.

The proposal aims to offer a sample of independent and experimental cinema without excluding cinematographies that, for one reason or another, have a commercial interest due to their nationality, as is the case of some Japanese or Korean films. Whether it is psychological cinema, historical cinema or action cinema, there is no single Asian cinema. When it is named, the existence of a cinema recognizable by specific aspects that characterize it is not assumed. From Central Asia to Southeast Asia and from there to the Asia-Pacific region, the mosaic of national identity cultures occupies a vast territory that in some cases shares a common history and in others remains divided, despite its proximity. For this first collaboration, several factors have been considered, such as the fact that the inauguration will coincide with the 75th Anniversary of the Independence of India and for this reason, the screening of the film Sardar Udham directed by Soojit Sircar (2021), which narrates the life of one of the main leaders of the independence movement in India. A total of twenty-six titles have been selected from twenty-five Asian countries (Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Uzbekistan). The only repeat country is India because the title for the opening is directed by an Indian filmmaker and the theme relates directly to the conflict associated with the struggle for independence.

The growing interest in Asian cinema in general makes it possible to propose this program even at a time when audiences have diversified and their habits have changed during the pandemic, and it is unknown whether the recovery will be analogous to that which has occurred in other sectors. We have been running an analog program in Barcelona in a commercial cinema since 2013, every Saturday of the year at 20h, except for the month of August. We also maintain the weekly program for the television channel BETEVÉ, every Friday at 22h. We are also maintaining the Casa Asia channel on FILMIN platform, which has over 400 titles. Our annual audiovisual programming covers more than twenty-five countries in Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific in an attempt to cover a vast geography that in many cases only cinema makes accessible and the cultures of the different territories it encompasses. On the other hand, it is worth adding the itinerant exhibitions that we do throughout the year with some of the most representative titles that pass through the Asian Film Festival Barcelona, which this year celebrates its tenth edition and is organized by Casa Asia between late October and early November every year.

The AFFBCN is a festival focused on Asian productions that annually make headlines in the countries of reference and in festivals such as Rotterdam, Berlinale, Cannes, Locarno and Udine, which for years have been contemplating the growing interest in Asian cinema in their programs. Our goal is not only to make known a cinema that until a few years ago was not taken into account with a few exceptions, such as the production of the great figures of Japanese cinema and later on of Korean cinema, but also the cultural diversity and plurality that are derived for all purposes from an exhibition that intends to tour territories that, despite economic globalization, continue to preserve their differences.

The focus of our annual film programming is centered both on this festival, which aims to be a referent for Asian cinema in our country, as well as on the programming we carry out throughout the year in collaboration with other institutions and cinemas. It is an inclusive program with a predominance of the dramatic genre, which in this case takes precedence over comedy, suspense and fantasy, although no possibility is ruled out if there is a particular interest in a specific production.

Regarding the schedule of the sessions to be programmed at the Cine Paz, it would be interesting to consider the starting date of the program and the day of the week and timetable to be set in order to be able to announce it. Weekly periodicity is an important component in building audience loyalty. We have been able to verify this in Barcelona over time, where from 2013 to the present we have maintained uninterrupted weekly programming in the city’s Cinemes Girona.

As regards the order to be followed in establishing the schedule of the respective sessions to be held after the inauguration, the order may be alphabetical by country or any other order, whichever seems more appropriate. It is open to suggestions from either side, as well as to circumstances that may determine a certain sequence. The attached list has been made in alphabetical order by country in order to maintain a certain neutrality and to explore from here the best choice.

Finally, I think it would be appropriate to include the collaboration of Casa Asia with Cine Paz or MK2 in an agreement, to make clear the agreements and commitments of both parties in terms of what has so far been the subject of the conversations we have held to make this project a reality.
