"The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival" may be a mouthful, but it's also one of the premier festivals of its kind. The 26th edition spotlights some of Asia's most significant filmmakers and movements, while responding to evolving notions of transnationalism. Local director Wayne Wang (Chan Is Missing, The Joy Luck Club) is a featured guest and presents his two new films, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers and The Princess of Nebraska. Other highlights include a visit from Filipino director Brillante Mendoza, Hou Hsiao-hsien's adaptation of The Red Balloon, a massive Bollywood hit starring Shahrukh Khan, and a three-film tribute to Edward Yang, the artful Taiwanese director who died last year.
