Mercoledì 8 alle ore 12 presso il cinema Visionario di Udine, il Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche e il Teatro Nuovo Giovanni da Udine in collaborazione con la Cineteca del Friuli e il Visionario - Centro per le Arti Visive, hanno tenuto una conferenza stampa di presentazione della line-up del Far East Film Festival 17. Dai titoli annunciati spiccano alcune attesissime anteprime, fra cui: Dragon Blade, colossal che unisce antica Cina e antichi romani con le star Jackie Chan, Adrien Brody e John Cusack; l’action adventure The Taking of Tiger Mountain di Tsui Hark, con Tony Leung; lo spy thriller record d’incassi in Cina, Helios; e il primo film da regista del famoso scrittore e blogger cinese Han Han, The continent.
Interessante notare per la prima volta la presenza di un film cambogiano e l’esordio al festival della cinematografia non strettamente asiatica, grazie alla nuova sezione Sitges Reloaded, in collaborazione con il festival di Sitges in Spagna.

Dragon Blade racconta la storia di una legione di soldati romani che si perde nel continente asiatico arrivando fino in Cina. In questo film, una delle produzioni a più alto budget della storia della cinematografia cinese, l'oriente incontra l'occidente; Jackie Chan è affiancato dagli attori John Cusack e Adrien Brody.
The Taking of the Tiger Mountain, film tratto dal romanzo "Tracce nel bosco innevato", narra dell'epico duello tra il feroce bandito Hawk, asserragliato in una fortezza durante la guerra civile del 1946, e l'investigatore Yang, infiltrato sotto copertura tra le fila della banda criminale.
Fanta-thriller ad alta tensione che ha sbancato il box office cinese, Helios narra le gesta di un super criminale (Chang Chen) e della sua assistente (Janice Man) alle prese con il furto di un piano per la produzione di armi di distruzione di massa e con una crisi che minaccia di distruggere il mondo.
Primo film da regista dello scrittore cinese Han Han, The continent parla di tre uomini che partono per un road trip alla ricerca di una nuova vita lontano dall'isola in cui vivono.
