Asia-Pacific Film Festival 2004

[Stephen Cremin]

Just to note, that this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival takes place 
in Fukuoka from 22-24 September.  I'm not sure to what extent 
screenings are open to the public (or press, or guests), but for anyone 
interested in what's happening in Malaysian or Indonesian cinema, it's 
probably the best festival in the world to attend this year.  Festival 
asks government agencies to submit films, which can be a hit or miss 
affair, but in the same way that the Cannes film market is the best 
Asian film festival in the world, this year's Asia-Pacific lineup is 
pretty darn impressive too.
