28th Hawaii International Film Festival, October 9-19

The Fall Film Schedule is now on-line here, tickets go on sale later this week.

Highlights at the Fall festival this year include Kim Ji Woon’s The Good the Bad, and the Weird which is scheduled to premiere on Closing Night (which means HIFF will likely charge $15 or more for a ticket). Other notable releases from Korea include Crossing by director Kim Tae Kyun about a father crossing into South Korea as a North Korean refugee to obtain medicine for his ailing wife and child, and Lee Jun ik’s Sunny which is a romantic drama set during the Vietnam War. 

A local blog has photos from the making of the always stunning HIFF film trailer which this year stars Kelly Hu (WHO???), and Jason Scott Lee.
