This year the Coventry University East Asian Film Society has big plans. New members, new guest speakers and some amazing films screened already set things in the right direction.
In addition to Dr. Shaun Hides and the expert on Japanese cinema Mr. Jasper Sharp, the society has planned quite a few visits by 'big fish' within the realm of Asian cinema. CUEAFS is also preparing for other exciting events, such as the screening of the recently released 'Big Tits Zombie' in 3D, followed by a Halloween fancy dress party in 'Inspire'. And this is only the beginning.
Later this year, CUEAFS will be covering the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy and the Terracotta Film Festival in London. Along with that, CUEAFS has quite a few projects lined up, together with internal professional experience opportunities.
A lot of the society's work is not pure entertainment, but it gets the attention and respect of professionals in the field. Last year, the society travelled down to London for the premiere of 'Kakera - A Piece Of Our Lives', where they interviewed director Momoko Ando and their participation in the Q&A session was included in the original DVD extras.
At the end of April, the society covered the second part of the Far East Film Festival, where with an official media pass they did interviews, media panels and collaborated with an external webspace to produce material. In May, CUEAFS was a part of the Terracotta Film Festival, where they were again treated as professionals and did amazing work.
