A Tall Tale by Kelly Anee Riess (2009)

“Tall Tale” suit les peines et périples d’un jeune adolescent, Niko, qui tente de faire face à ses problèmes de drogues et la pression de finir son secondaire. Ce stress lui cause d’avoir un rêve étrange.

‘A Tall Tale’ is about Niko, a teenage boy who struggles with drug abuse and the pressures of finishing high school. The stresses in his life cause him to have a strange dream.

Harvest Moon by Mina Vladimir (2009)

Une jeune femme tente de préserver sa relation intime avec son amant qui se trouve sur un autre continent. Elle se sent menacée par la distance et la culturelle étrangère, qui risquent de le transformer. Elle réalise éventuellement et contre son gré, que cette transformation a peut-être déjà eu lieu.

A young woman and her lover, separated on different continents, struggle to preserve their connection. She is afraid that the distance will weaken his love for her and that foreign culture will change him. From both ends of the world, they are afraid that they are losing each other.

Mon nom est Tuan by Nguyen-Anh Nguyen (2009)

Un jeune garçon vietnamien s’ajuste au mode de vie occidentale. Il rencontre une fille à sa nouvelle école et une amitié est née.

A Vietnamese boy is adjusting in subtle ways to western life. He meets a girl at his new school and befriends her.

State of Yo by Jason Karman (2007)

Harvey Lowe a gagné son premier championnat de yo-yo en 1932. Il a perdu son père à un très jeune âge; il a survécu des crises politiques et économiques et a vaincu une tumeur cérébrale. Le yo-yo l’a rendu célèbre, et lui a redonné son identité.

Harvey Lowe won the first yo-yo championship in 1932. He experienced the early loss of his father, political and economic unrest, and a brain tumor. The yo-yo, which made him famous, helped him regain his identity.

Welcome to the Now Playing section indexing the asian and asian related movies playing in the Montreal area

This week is a blast. First, our distribution divison, Cine-Asie Creatives is finally bringing korean award winner Breathless back to the Montreal screens (after its triumph at Fantasia). We’ve worked hard to get this one to you, so be sure to check it out!

Then there’s some free screenings of chinese movies at NFB to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Canada/China diplomatic relations. Yep, I did say free.

Oh, and there’s also the opening of the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma on wednesday night, although the asian extravaganza doesn’t really start until next week.

Did I mention it’s a long weekend? Fortunately, that won’t stop AMC from opening on monday
