The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival begins March 12th, and boy does this year’s line-up look nice. Case in point, the festival’s Spotlight on Kiyoshi Kurosawa, a collection of seven of Kurosawa’s films, many not released in the US in any form, beginning with his latest, Tokyo Sonata. You can safely bet we’ll be attending as many of these as humanly possible.
