dragon dynasty and subway cinema present
"Horror is over, gangsters are losing ground, and the coming thing is camp comedy dressed up in electric pink. At least those are a few conclusions that can be drawn from sampling this year's edition of the New York Asian Film Festival.
Now in its sixth year, the scruffy, fan-fueled Asian Film Festival continues to serve as a reliable road map of the new directions in Asian popular cinema."
- Dave Kehr, the New York Times
ADVANCE TICKET SALES INFORMATION
As of June 8th, advance tickets are available for sale online through the IFC Center website (for shows at IFC Center) and through Japan Society website (for shows at Japan Society). Each movie page on the Subway Cinema site will also link you to the appropriate venue.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR TICKETS AND VENUES BEFORE FINALIZING YOUR PURCHASE! TICKETS FOR EACH VENUE MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.
IFC TICKETS ARE:
$11 + $1 SERVICE CHARGE
JAPAN SOCIETY TICKETS ARE:
$10 + $1.50 SERVICE CHARGE.
NOTE: Because the world of online ticket sales is a strange and difficult place, the IFC website does not have a shopping cart option and tickets may only be purchased for one film at a time. We suggest you go to their box office where you can buy multiple tickets in one transaction and you avoid the $1 service charge.
" Lesbian schoolgirl terrorists and hair extensions gone wild? Must be the NYAFF...crazed, capricious, super-freaky mega-mix of art house and grindhouse"

"Instead of programming yet another slate of quiet art-house dramas, the New York Asian Film Festival has become one of the city's most exciting film events by celebrating excess: innovative, sometimes baffling, often whiplash-stylish Asian pop that expands your sense of what's possible on a movie screen. This year's downright-crazy-ass lineup (June 22 to July 8 at the IFC Center and Japan Society) fêtes some prestige films (like The Banquet), for sure, but you can skip those: Instead, gross out at Aachi & Ssipak, a postapocalyptic Korean 'toon version of Urinetown; goth up with Japan's manga-based Death Note blockbusters; laugh yourself scared with Pakistan's first slasher flick, Hell's Ground. And don't miss I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK, a mesmerizing romance from Oldboy 's vengeance-obsessed director Park Chan-wook." - Logan Hill, New York magazine
