About AsianinNY.com: New York’s leader in Asian networking and a multi-cultural sharing site. The goal of AsianInNY is to facilitate connection. We intend to help those living in New York City to find their way, both within their own lives and their communities.  We have conducted a lot of fashion shows and created a lot of networking opportunities for everyone who was involved with the production including designers, models, stylists and performers.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today that Ang Lee’s “The Life of Pi” will open the 50th New York Film Festival, where it will also make its world premiere. “The Life Of Pi” is the first 3D film to be presented as the opening night gala selection of the New York Film Festival, which runs September 28 through Oct. 14.

This marks the Academy Award-winning director’s return to the New York Film Festival, 12 years after “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” which was the Closing Night Gala presentation in 2000 (the film was also nominated for an Oscar for best film and director in 2001).

The selection of “Life of Pi” puts Ang Lee in good company, with other directors Robert Altman, Pedro Almodóvar and François Truffaut as the only directors to have had more than one film chosen to open NYFF. Ang Lee’s film “The Ice Storm” was the opening night gala selection in 1997.

“Over a year has passed since the Great Tohoku Earthquake, March 11th, 2011. On our school campus we felt the full strength of the earthquake. We heard the warning for an enormous tsunami, and moved to the highest floor of our school building. Constant aftershocks kept us all on edge. We spent the night at our school without electricity, not knowing when we could return home. Then, we learned about the damaged nuclear reactors in Fukushima…

After these devastating events, we received an outpouring of help from all over the world. We, students of Tohoku Japan, would like the opportunity to show our gratitude to the people of the world who helped and supported us. Our event will take place in New York City, but is meant for all the people of the world that assisted us in our greatest time of need. Please come and listen to our stories of surviving the Great Tohoku Earthquake.”
