The New Asia Film Festival is a community-based annual event committed to showcasing cutting-edge films and media art works from around the
world. It is centered on contemporary and progressive themes related to
Asian cultures. The challenge of this branding is to define what New Asia
is and to find the balance between the new and the old. The theatre-like
typeface: DLT Nobel suggests a clean and contemporary look to the logo. At
the same time the letter E that is drawn with a calligraphic characteristic
keep the essence of Asia.

Ben Tsiang (Guest Speaker, Founder and CEO of CNEX)
This is a story of 3 Korean FTMs (Female Toward Male) who struggle
to have their true lives.
Synopsis
This documentary portrays the diversity within FTM transgenders in South Korea through the experiences and life of three
FTMs. Each individual has different processes of identification
and diverse reasons why he wants to be an FTM, or has no other
choice but to undergo FTM surgery: ‘H’ has always wanted to be a
man with physical power and tough behaviour from his childhood;
‘K’ has been always confused with who he is, ever uncomfortable
with and unfit for any gender role and only recently found who he
has been since learning about transgender; finally, ‘J’, who met a
girlfriend at a lesbian community, decided to be a man for a better
career and to satisfy his girlfriend’s demands.
This documentary also tries to encourage each of them to affirm
their sexuality over the binarism of gender which is clearly divided
into male and female. For non-transgendered individuals, it can be
an opportunity to discover and expand their own perceptions of
diverse sexuality.

LIEW SENG TAT (Director / Writer / Producer)
Liew Seng Tat was born on 30th September 1979, in a rather notorious
area called Jinjang. He is known for making dark comedy - hilarious,
ridiculous, absurd and yet touching. Since his first short film, Bread
Skin With Strawberry, was shown in the Malaysian Shorts series in the
Malaysian Film Club, he has never failed to win the audience award.
Flower In The Pocket is his first feature length film.
Mother’s Day Special Feature
Director Liew Seng Tat said that the film title and theme was inspired by the tradition of wearing a flower in your pocket on Mother’s Day. A red flower symbolizes that
one’s mother is still alive while a white flower indicates that one’s mother is no longer
living.
Synopsis
Recent Malaysian cinema has become synonymous with long shots and even longer
takes, but Flower In The Pocket is possibly the funniest film. First-time feature director
Liew Seng Tat hit the ball out of the park with the film as the rare debut feature to
win at both the prestigious Pusan and Rotterdam Film Festivals.
The story starts off amusingly with two Chinese-speaking brothers, Ma Li Ahh
and Ma Li Ohm, as they both suffer through the indignity of school. While his father
Sui shuts himself out from the world, the two brothers grow up with all the freedom
of neglected children. They roam the streets; get into fights and other trouble in
school. Along the way, they adopt a stray puppy, which becomes the most important
thing in their lives. For the most part, father and sons live in different universes.
When their puppy is sent away for being a nuisance, the boys are devastated.
Their father suddenly realizes that he is still able to love and he’s going to do something about it before it’s too late.

“He is totally nuts about hip-hop,” described by Alun’s students.
Alun is the founder of the first Taiwanese Hip-hop group “The
Party”, and released two albums in the 90’s”. Hip-hop is Alun’s
life, his oxygen. However, the group was dismissed already, and
the members simply went separate ways. Ever since, Alun has
traveled to Osaka, New York, Europe, Brazil, and many other
places to explore the soul behind dancing. But for many people,
his search and passion seems completely alien to normal life.
This film follows the period of 2007 to 2008, during which Alun
was trying to make his way to a world class break-dance contest
in Paris.
Mingling with Alun’s uphill journey is the story of the 2nd
generation Hip-hop dancers in Taiwan, a street-dancing group
calling themselves “Eight Children”. The new generation does

place to bring your mind to wonder. Ever since the first initiative of the event,
Lynn has been the chief graphic designer. This year she has been working on
a new branding for the New Asia Film Festival. She hopes this new identity
can carry the mission of the festival across to the audience.

perspective: she relates to them by also working on their side of the fence. As
a Richmond resident, organizing a film festival and encouraging more people
to explore different types of independent films in our community has always
been her dream. In 2008, this dream came true by building up Cinevolution
Media Arts Society and then ran for the 1st New Asia Film Festival. Before this,
she also organized the 1st Taiwanese Film Festival and Mandarin Cinema in

This film is an artistic project that explains the different adaptation processes
we experience. Those who appear in this film are real people who are new to a
different country, language and culture. To be more specific, we share how we feel

It is hard to believe that this award-winning
documentary only had a production budget of
US $13,215. Acclaimed as a surprising achievement at
the 46th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival,KJ presents
a rare sensitive portrait of a young musician in Hong
Kong who is struggling with demands of his own talent
and questioning the meaning of life. The film won the
Best Documentary, Best Editor, and Best Music at the
Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in 2009.
At Vancouver Community College, the World Beat project provides a safe,
accepting and supportive space for immigrant youth to explore their life
desire, express their voices, strengthen themselves, and continue with
their journeys. This film, jointly developed by the youth and the project
team, with support from Cinevolution Media Arts Society, gives you a
glimpse into the experiences of the young men and women engaged in
the project.

After the film screening, a community forum will be held when you can
meet the youth and project staff to discuss the film and their experience.
Kajeng Wong (KJ) is a 17-year-old music prodigy from
a well-to-do family and lives an inexhaustible life
provided by his doctor father. At the age of 11, he won
his Best Pianist title at the Hong Kong Interscholastic
Competition in Music and the opportunity to play
Beethoven’s Concerto for Piano No. 1 with a professional
orchestra in Czech. However, in the mind of the young
talent, he began to question incessantly about “why
piano?”, and “what is in life, if not music?”
World Beat is funded by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market
Development, and implemented by a partnership of Vancouver Community
College, SUCCESS and YWCA. For more information about the project, please go

For six years, director Cheung followed KJ’s dazzling
moments on stage up to his troubled teenage years. By
examining KJ’s innermost thoughts, the reality speaks
of a normal young man facing universal choices and
struggles – the meaning of life, God, the artistic process,
inspiration, his conflicts with peers and parents. This
documentary is not about the victory of a prodigy, but
how he learns to be a “human being”.

retired old ships from all over the world. An average of 20
workers dies in Chittagong every year. Despite the harsh working
environment full of contaminants and toxic gases, the ships are
gifts from God. A twenty one year old Belal who left home ten years

In 1965, Yash Pal Suri left India for the U.K. The
first thing he did upon his arrival to England
was buy two Super 8 cameras, two projectors and
two reel to reel recorders. One set of equipment
he sent to his family in India, the other he
kept for himself. For forty years, he uses the
equipment to share his new life abroad with
those back home: images of snow, mini-skirted
ladies dancing bare-legged, his first trip to an
English supermarket. His taped thoughts and
observations provide a unique chronicle of the
eccentricities of his new English hosts. Back in
India, his relatives respond in turn, with their
own ‘cine-letters’ telling tales of weddings,
festivals and village life.
As time passes and the planned return to India
becomes an increasingly remote possibility, the
joys and curiosities of earlier exchanges give way
to the darker reality of alienation, racism and
family disintegration.
I for India is a chronicle of immigration in sixties
Britain and beyond, seen through the eyes of
one Asian family and their movie camera.

that he still maintains the original Butoh spirit, having begun his dance career outside the “butoh genealogy” in 1975. Until 1982 he presented 150 experimental
performances in which he stood straight, completely
naked and perfectly still. Since then, in Europe as well
as Japan, Iwana has presented his performances and
workshops continuously, and has created works built
on his sharpened aesthetic in more than 100 cities
and 40 countries around the world. Iwana represents
the institute for the research of Butoh – La Maison du
Butoh Blanc, based in southern Normandy in France.

True expression of love is usually bounded by realities of human world.
The journey to the true love is filled with joys and sorrows. The secret
to its success is through nurturing the former and overcoming the
latter, similar to how cactus must find happiness facing the boredom in
the dessert and discover the strength to deal with the adversities. The
process may be full of hurts and wounds but the soul is crystal clear and
the determination to the colourful dream is as hard as the gem. An artist
or a creative artwork, like any splendid story or the formation of a new
culture, is the result of endurance and perseverance which overcomes
today’s harsh reality in the journey to seek true love.

text is written based on personal observations about the social
issues of stress that cause people unhappiness. It is written in
a poetic style. The images are a simple composition designed
to create a peaceful Zen feeling where the viewer can wonder
when as they view the images. The position of the text as well
as the weight and size of the text changes to create a melody
on the page as well.
