This year, 21st Century World will focus its attention on a powerful universe today. the Far East, from China to Singapore, by way of Japan, Taiwan and Korea. It is all a world of extremes, of the fervent contrast between the oriental tradition and Westernization forced by circumstance.
Over the course of these showings, which are not recommended for those hoping for short films to cheer you up, we will get an overview of the different issues from the entire region, which in many cases are just starting to seem endemic.
In this respect, we will see the role of women and citizen safety in modern-day China in Ba Yue Shi Wu, a huge success at the latest Cannes Film Festival. The frightening living conditions faced by the street vendors in Skinning, shown at Clermont-Ferrand. Overpopulation and Neo-capitalism in Japan in On a Wednesday Night in Tokyo, which has had wide repercussions at international festivals with something so simple as filming the doors in the Japanese capital's underground system; the nuclear threat in the enjoyable The Freaking Family, an example of the best in Asian humor and a film that has become a classic with “freaky” audiences. In short, a rather heartbreaking trip through a world full of conflicts, one that is always fascinating and in many cases utterly unknown.
