“Spaces of Asian Cinema” - 2009 Asia Pacific Film Festival
The 2009 Asia Pacific Film Festival and an accompanying symposium on the “Spaces of Asian Cinema” will be held at the University of California, Davis November 4-6. The festival will feature film screenings, keynote speeches, and panel discussions.
While our festival is focused on Asian films, we hope the keynote speeches, given their broader theoretical concerns, would be useful and interesting to you. The keynote speeches will be delivered by:
