Today's Movies
Films from India, Israel, Palestine, Thailand, Japan, India, Sweden and more!


Director Zhang Yang (SHOWER) returns to the screen with SUNFLOWER, a story of generational conflict, starring Joan Chen. Director Hany Abu-Assad will be at the Dole Cannery for PARADISE NOW, his beautifully acted and sensitively written film, officially selected as Palestine's entry for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Golden Maile nominees CAVITE (best feature) and STATE OF MIND (best documentary) screen in the early evening at the Dole Cannery.

Later tonight, directors Parkpoom Wongpoom and Banjong Pisanthanakun will attend this evening's screening of the terrifyingly refreshing horror film SHUTTER, Thailand number one film in 2004! (Brought to you by AZN). At midnight, there's a special screening of THE GLAMOROUS LIFE OF SACHIKO HANAI. Director Mitsuru Meike's "sexy, anarchic, satirical romp was originally released into pink cinemas in a 65-minute version called Horny Home Tutor: Teacher's Love Juice, but proved so popular that a 'director's cut' was prepared, featuring enough raunch, humour and weirdness to please all but the most po faced."
