27 selected streaming titles for the digital space supported by MYmovies.
Big news: a live webcast of the masterclass Zhang Yimou will be holding in Udine on Thursday 2 May!
It's only two weeks until the start of the Far East Film Festival 26, the largest European outpost for Far Eastern cinema, so it's time to announce the contents of FEFF online, the digital space supported as always by the FEFF's historic partner MYmovies. A priceless selection of titles from the 2024 line-up that Asian distributors have made available for streaming over the nine days of the festival, from the 24th of April to the 2nd of May.
FEFF online will this year be offering 27 films: 14 in competition, including the galactic Alienoid double-bill, and 13 which are not in competition from the two retrospectives (A/B side VIBES. Greatest Hits from '80s & '90s and 50/50: Celebrating 50 Years of Korean Film Preservation) and from the documentary section. And the big news is the live webcast of one of the programme's key events: the masterclass that Zhang Yimou, a legendary name in cinema (and not only in Chinese cinema), will be holding on Thursday the 2nd of May (11:35am) on the stage of the Teatro Nuovo "Giovanni da Udine" Theatre.
All films will only be available for Italy and three will be "Gala" titles (a single online screening with a specific start time and a 4-hour window): (Ab)normal Desire by Kishi Yoshiyuki, Motion Picture: Choke by Nagao Gen and Voice by Mishima Yukiko. Access to FEFF online (www.mymovies.it/live/feff/) comes with a subscription to MYmovies ONE, starting from €7.90 per month and can be purchased immediately. Access is also guaranteed to all active subscribers to Fareastream, the first Italian on-demand platform for Asian cinema which, like FEFF online itself, bears the double signature of FEFF and MYmovies.
The list of titles can be downloaded as a pdf here.
