Masterclasses and classic films at the East Asia Film Festival Ireland

Last year’s Chinese-Language Film Festival was another great example of the diverse, compelling international cinema on offer at the Irish Film Institute, as the likes of A Touch of Zen and The Road to Mandalay were given the opportunity to be screened for Irish eyes. The festival returns to the Temple Bar cinema this April under a new name, the East Asia Film Festival. This year the festival offers a fresh masterclass from an acclaimed cinematographer, several Irish premieres and a screening of Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love, one of the greatest films of the 2000s.
