UK: East Winds Film Festival From March 2-4

Third Window Films in association with the Coventry University East Asian Film Society (CUEAFS) are set to present the second edition of the East Winds Film Festival, which will be held at the Warwick Art Centre in Coventry, West Midlands, United Kingdom from March 2-4, 2012.

Along with retrospectives of the works of established film-makers Miki Satoshi and Herman Yau, the festival will feature a UK film premiere, four European premieres, an impressive guest list and the second edition of the International East Asian Symposium.

East Winds Film Festival is an event which aims to celebrate and raise awareness of East Asian cinema among university students and the local community in the Midlands, where the audience would normally not get a chance to see the diversity and richness of the Far East.

This year, the festival program features some major films, among which the European premiere of Bloodtraffick, an 11-minute action film by Jennifer Thym, currently circulating in film festivals and generating positive feedback. The short, prequel to a feature film, tells the story of a female vigilante on a quest of revenge in a war between angels and vampires.
