The Korea Society and the Museum of The Moving Image co-present Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring—a gorgeously shot feature film that has grossed more in box office receipts than any Korean movie released in United States to date. Directed by phenom Kim Ki-duk, the film is a pastoral poem about the changing seasons and a meditation on the cycle of life. In a tranquil and timeless setting of a temple floating on a lake in a forest, surrounded by mountain spires that cut the monastery off from worldly concerns, an old monk teaches his young disciple the wisdom of Buddha over the many seasons of their lives. In Korean with English subtitles.

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.

An Olympic bronze medal is coming to Brooklyn, thanks to teenage swimmer Lia Neal. Neal, who is half African-American and half Chinese, is the second woman of African-American descent to make the U.S. Olympic swim team.
The 17-year-old Brooklyn resident was part of the women’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay team that came in third place on Saturday night. This is her first Olympics.
Neal swam in both the morning preliminaries and the evening race.
The first black woman to make the U.S. Olympic swim team was Maritza Correia, a silver medalist in the 4×100 freestyle relay in 2004.
Neal joins a pantheon of Asian American Olympic women swimmers that includes Evelyn Kawamoto, Catherine Fox and Natalie Coughlin.
She’ll be starting her senior year in high school in the fall. She has been swimming for Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics on the Upper East Side since she was 8.

Public Enemy is much, much more than what the reality TV generation may know them for (i.e., the musical side project of that reality show star who wears a clock necklace). The influential, acclaimed rap group did much to change the face of hip-hop. They share the bill with Salt-N-Pepa, of “Push It” fame.
The public is encouraged to bring their own chairs because seating is limited.
ALL SHOWS FREE!

The Asian American Film Lab (AAFilmLab) screened the top ten films of the Eighth Annual 72 Hour Film Shootout (“Shootout”), at the Asian American International Film Festival, under the auspices of and in collaboration with Asian CineVision. AsianInNY.com we are also a proud media sponsor!
AAFilmLab’s first female president, Jennifer Betit Yen, began the ceremony by thanking the filmmakers and film fans for their support of ethnic and gender diversity in film. She explained, “[t]he 72 Hour Shootout is about empowerment. It enable filmmakers with the opportunity to seize 72 hours within which to tell virtually any story they want in virtually any way they can imagine. The filmmakers [who participated in the Shootout] took control over their own stories. They became independents instead of dependents, leaders instead of followers, creators instead of mainstream mimics. Every single one of them deserves accolades for stepping up to the plate and daring to tell their stories. In doing so, they said, ‘we are not ‘the other.’ We will not be marginalized. We will not be silenced.’”
The awards were as follows:
1 ) RiLL – Distance
2 ) Jong-IL – Maybe Baby*
