CLOSING NIGHT AT VAFF WITH GRACE PARK

Canadian Premiere | Grace Park in Attendance

THE VAFF Festival closes with VAFF 2005 alum Michael Kang’s second feature film, WEST 32ND. John Cho and Jun Kim star in this story about an ambitious lawyer who finds himself thrust into a sordid world of hard realities and moral compromises. Also featuring Vancouver talent, Grace Park, WEST 32ND takes us inside New York’s gritty Koreantown underworld. Preceding is the stylish PERMUTE, about an animated woman caught within a film noir setting and the journey within.

Director: Michael Kang | Producers: Teddy Zee, Miky Lee | Writers: Michael Kang, Edmund Lee
Narrative | DigiBeta | Colour | 2007 | 91 minutes | USA

When John (John Cho), an ambitious young lawyer, takes on a pro bono case to exonerate a fourteen year-old boy from a first-degree murder charge, he finds a world he never knew existed in the underbelly of Manhattan.

Infiltrating the knotty and complex realm of organized crime to search for clues, he meets his match, Mike (Jun Kim), a rising soldier in the syndicate. Recognizing John’s determination and daring, Mike brings John into his confidence, furtively drawing him into his own plans to rise within the underworld. Though they become fast friends, they just as quickly end up trying to use each other as they discover they’ll both do anything to win.

INDUSTRY LUNCHEON AT DR. SUN YAT SEN GARDENS

VAFF had the distinct pleasure to have Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism join us for an informal luncheon with over 100 industry guests at the beautifully serene Gardens. Minister Kenney greeted the guests with a warm and welcoming speech that was very well received.

This was the Mr. Kenney’s first public engagement in Western Canada since becoming the new minister following the recent federal election.

One last social networking left to mix and mingle with the celebrities. See you at the VAFF WRAP Party at TUNNEL tonight! Tickets $15 available at the door.

VAFF ATTENDEES GET THEIR FLAUNT ON

Over 300 guests enjoyed themselves at VAFF’S FLAUNT IT Party at Edgewater Casino last night. Some very beautiful Asian dresses were worn by the ladies and not to be outdone many of the gentlemen looked pretty sharp in their Asian style suits.
We had more lucky winners at the casino too!

One more party to enjoy…
