Hi I'm a relative newbie to Asian films, having watched just a handful of films by Kurosawa, Kitano, and Imamura, so I'll be a lurker. I have an interest in "world cinema" generally, which is fed by my local indie-cinema (The Duke of Yorks, Brighton), and a FilmFour subscription. I hope membership of this list will provide me with insights into the culture surrounding Asian film. Ian Kellar
