Fall Asian Film Series screenings look at cultural identity, political anxiety & visual representation

The Asian Film Series screens a kung fu film, a musical, and a spy thriller, to examine cultural identity, political anxiety, and visual representation.

Kung Fu Hustle is either a trashy, non-sensical comedy or a clever postmodern work that comments on Hong Kong – China relations.  Shiri is the name of a species of freshwater fish indigenous to the DMZ, and expresses the director’s hope for the reunification of a divided Korea.  Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story between a great Mughal emperor, Akbar, and a Rajput princess, Jodha.
