Since the tremendous commercial success of the film “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, there has been a gradual increase in the number of pictures being produced in America that depict the lives of its Asian citizens. This trend allows for the presentation of the experiences of this over 20 million-strong group of people to a broad audience. Such portrayal can be seen in “Smoking Tigers”, a full-length debut by So Young Shelly Yo. The movie, made by a first-generation Korean-American director, screenwriter, and editor from California, was praised by critics and received several awards, including for the Best Performance, the Best Screenplay, and the Nora Ephron Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The 24th edition of the festival set to run from April to May 2023.
South Korea’s Jeonju International Film Festival has appointed two co-directors – veteran actor Jung Joonho and former vice director Min Sungwook.
Former festival director Lee Joondong’s three-year contract ended earlier this year after he wrapped the festival’s 23rd edition, which was the first to be held as a fully fledged event since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Organisers stated that Jeonju is aiming to build on its solid cinephile following for its independent and alternative cinema programming but also lower the barrier for wider mass audiences.
