FESTIVAL WEBLOGS
Assembling the program schedule for The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival requires a lot of traveling to international and domestic film festivals, where both new discoveries and hard truths are uncovered along the way. In this feature, select members of the Film Festival organizing team report on their research trips, on new and exciting films, and of the cinematic movements where these works spring from.
