Free Talk: New Asian Auteurs

This free talk will take place Monday, September 30 at 4:30pm in the EBM Amphitheater.

Update: Trương Minh Quý will no longer be able to participate in this talk.

Three newcomers to the NYFF Main Slate—Neo Sora (Happyend), Trương Minh Quý (Việt and Nam), and Yeo Siew Hua (Stranger Eyes)—represent an emerging generation of auteurs from Asia. Spanning Japan, Vietnam, and Singapore, their films wrestle with the political histories and futures of the continent—including entrenched legacies of imperialism and fast-encroaching realities of authoritarianism and surveillance—to craft radical new cinematic vocabularies, while also drawing upon the work of the masters who’ve come before them. This roundtable will bring together the three directors for a conversation about their careers, their inspirations, and the new directions of Asian cinema today. Moderated by Kevin Lozano, Associate Literary Editor at The Nation.
