Eight Diagram PF & 4 other Shaws + USA "Night Flight" docu in L.A. Film Fest-June '08

[wackiechan]

The L.A. Film Festival 2008, which will take place in June 2008, is going to show five Shaw Brothers movies which include:

"Eight Diagram Pole Fighter"

"The Boxer of Shantung"

"Hong Kong Nocturne"

"Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (Ai Nu)"

"The Singing Thief (Da Dao Ge Wang)"

I don't know why that "5 Element Ninja" couldn't be shown instead. However, since it looks like the UCLA Film and TV Archive is involved w/ these Shaw screenings, maybe that means there will be a Heroic Grace Film Series 3 pretty soon(which would include a "5EN" screening).

It looks like this Film Fest will also show "Night Flight: Born Again", which sounds like a documentary about the USA Network's "Night Flight" TV show which I kind of remember being a little bit like MTV.

For more info, check the Special Screenings and Special Series of this website: http://lafilmfest.com/films.php#ucla. Right now, there doesn't seem to be a schedule yet for the movies that will be shown.

It's too bad that this Film Fest will take place all the way in the Westwood/UCLA area.

NIGHT FLIGHT was great. Music videos, documentaries and movies shown all through the night till 6 am. That's where I first saw ISLAND WARRIORS and BILLY THE KID VS DRACULA.

Yeah that's going back a few years isn't it. Had a good friend in middle school and on a few occasions I'd sleep over at his place and we'd watch that.

I'd love to see a Heroic Grace 3 this year in LA. However, things sounded dismal after Heroic Grace 2. Seems UCLA had trouble with funding and two university benefactors had to step in to cover it. Maybe the LA Film Festival will be the best we get!
