Cineasia #6 in the starting blocks

For all you who are always on the look-out for the best in everything that's not exactly you, but different, here is something you might like if film and Asian cinema in particular are among your principal fields of interest, as I assume they would since you are reading this blog:
this year's (well actually it's last year's) Cineasia is getting ready to bring us some delicious menu of the latest and best in movies from Japan, Korea, Indonesia, China among others, and, most eagerly awaited by me personally, Singapore!

I've been reporting on this before, but anyway, here are the basics once more:

• when – April 28th – May 1st
• where – Museum Ludwig in Cologne
• what – see for yourself on Cineasia's official webby here, where shortly you'll find the program and everything else in much detail.
  

Just quickly, I want to point out these highlights to you: there will be “Tekkon kinkreet” shown, this solid anime by Michael Arias, likewise “Paprika”, Kon Satoshi's highly anticipated latest, “Berbagi suami/Love for Share” by Nia Di Nata from Indonesia, “D.I.Y” by Royston Tan, a German first for that musical short film, and finally you wouldn't want to miss the World Premiere of “Becoming Royston”!

Let's not waste this splendid opportunity and simply show up in time at the venue to feast on it all! One last thing: there will be an audience award for the first time this year that you can vote on, so it's really all your choice, see?
