The most exciting developments in world cinema over the past two decades have been linked to East Asian countries such as China, Japan and South Korea. Films made in East Asia triumph at festivals around the globe. Booming film markets are attached to the most important film festivals in Hong Kong, Pusan, Tokyo and Shanghai. The West is only just beginning to wake up to the importance of these film festivals to global film distribution.<\/p>\n

In their latest volume, Film Festivals and East Asia<\/em> (2011), scholars from the University of St. Andrews chart cutting-edge developments in global film. Prof. Dina Iordanova has stated: \u2018In opening up debates on the worldwide network of film festivals we are laying necessary groundwork for the understanding of global film circulation,\u2019<\/p>\n

The publication brings together the work of high profile critics, academics, and festival practitioners based in various East Asian countries and in the West. In recognition of the innovative work featured in the volume, a launch event is being organised at the Hong Kong offices of the British Council, on the eve of the next Hong Kong International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Film Festival Yearbook <\/em>project represents a unique opportunity to study the multi-faceted phenomenon of film festivals. It focuses on both global networks and local practices and sheds new light on the artistic, economic and political issues that are currently reshaping the global cultural field.\u2019
\n\u2013 Jean-Michel Frodon (Cahiers du cinema<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u2018This new anthology captures the enthusiasm for East Asian cinema felt by film lovers and film professionals the world over.\u2019
\n\u2013 Chris Fujiwara (Editor of Undercurrent<\/em>, FIPRECSI)<\/p>\n

\u2018A vital contribution to both Asian Film Studies and Film Festival Studies.\u2019
