Seeking Asian Female
In the framework of the Asian Film Festival Berlin
The final days of WASSERMUSIK are to be held under the banner of the fourth Asian Film Festival Berlin. The featured films are productions that take a critical perspective on the much-extolled new potential for economic, political, and cultural developments between the countries ringing the Pacific. With a focus on Asia, America, Thailand, and Vietnam, the selected films tell unusual stories of migration, love, everyday struggle, empowerment, and the search for meaning.
Opening:
“Nowhere Out There“ - a live performance conceived by performer and visual artist Florencia Guerberof (London), based on the short film “Camino Negro” by Arata Mori (Berlin).
Seeking Asian Female
R: Debbie Lum, USA 2012, 82 min, English version
The story of an Asian-American film director and her improbable friendship with one of her greatest nightmares: an old white American man with “yellow fever” who searches online for – and finds! – an exotic young bride from China. The film shows the complications, both humorous and tragic, for all parties involved: the man, the woman, and the filmmaker.
