Hong Kong

The home of Jackie Chan, John Woo, Jet Lee and Chow Yun Fat remains one of the world’s great movie towns. With a post takeover move toward horror films like THE EYE and energised cop thrillers like INFERNAL AFFAIRS, the films of Hong Kong cinema are again leading the world.

Japan

Animated classics, spine tingling horror, martial arts action, colossal monster movies and some of the most acclaimed moments in the history of film from maestros Kurosawa and Ozu; the national cinema of Japan is simply spellbinding.

South Korea

South Korea is the new frontier of contemporary Asian filmmaking; using explosive action, epic sweep and high production values to illustrate its troubled past history and dynamic present.

Thailand

With authentic action adventures like the Muay Thai extravaganza ONG BAK and the battle epic BANG RAJAN, it’s hard to beat Thai cinema for bone-crunching martial arts thrills.
