Udine's festival of Far Eastern Film (23-30 April) looks set to present many of the most commercially successful films of the year from Asia.

Bookended by Feng Xiao Gang's Cell Phone and Kang Je Gytu's Tae Guk Gi the main programme is a line-up of 41 films from China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, The Philippines and Thailand.

This year's special festival features by Udine's Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche are a tribute to Japanese cult-director Ichikawa Jun, and a fascinating focus on director Chor Yuen (showing his rare first works), which is presented in cooperation with the Hong Kong Film Archive.
