Asian Media Access is proud to announce its TENTH ANNUAL CHINESE FILM SHOWCASE 2005 from May 20 - May 26. Program venues this year include the Westbank Union Program Hall at the University of Minnesota, Willey Hall Basement (located at 225 19th Ave. S., Minneapolis campus) and the Brookdale 8 Theater (located at 5810 Shingle Creek Parkway in Brooklyn Center.)
In recent years, comedy has become the mainstream in Chinese Cinema. Many have also won international attention. Comedian Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle and director Feng Xiaogang's Big Shot's Funeral were all commercially released in the U.S. last year.
In the midst of the excitement caused by the tremendous success of many Chinese directors and comedians, an attempt to recapitulate the traditions and the development of Chinese Comedy seems only timely and helpful to a better understanding of its popularity.
Please Note:
Movies shown at the Willey Hall Auditorium
will be from DVDs, LDs, and VCDs.
Movies shown at the Brookdale 8 Theater are
on 35mm films.
