25th sfiaaff website

The website for the 25th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival is up and running. There isn't much there yet—the full program will be announced on February 13—but it'll be place to get all your info for what has to be my favorite Asian American film festival, running March 15-25. 25th anniversary! This is a big year. Due to renovations currently underway at the Kabuki Cinemas, the festival will be taking place at two new venues this year: AMC Van Ness Theatres and Landmark Opera Plaza Cinema. So don't be showing up in Japantown on opening night. Speaking of opening night, word on the street is, SFIAAFF's Opening Night film will be Justin Lin's Finishing the Game, fresh from Sundance. Here's a recent review of the film from the Hollywood Reporter: Finishing the Game ("Bottom Line: A boisterous '70s comedy spoofing the flaws of studio moviemaking.")
