Another festival which always has a strong Asian programme is Goteborg .. 
you know that one with the enormously fat catalogue that won't quite fit in 
your pocket.  And another festival which has decided that Korean film equals 
sex, sex and sex.  (Thank god they're not showing SUDDEN CRACK OF THUNDER, 
quickly renamed THE SOUND OF TWO CLOUDS BANGING by those of us unfortunate 
enough to catch it at Pusan.  YELLOW FLOWER is an earlier film by the same 
director.)

Goteborg also have a retrospective of North Korean cinema, presumably 
without much sex which I guess belongs to the sunnier south, which will 
later tour to at least one other festival.  Watch out for mistakes on the 
site.  I think, for example, that WOMAN WARRIOR OF KORYO has been replaced 
with another N. Korean title.  And it all helps if you can read Swedish...  
Again, I've left out the very old titles, if any.
