SCREENINGS
Dir: Kentaro Otani. Key cast: Shingo Katori, Ryoko Hirosue, Riko Narumi. The director of the travel segment of an animal TV programme, Kawahara, and the assistant director, Mizuki, need a dog for their programme, but lack of funding forces them to choose an unskilled glutton of a dog, Masao. They select Matsumoto, an unpopular comedian with time on his hands, as their host. He is not aware that the star of the programme will be a dog. At first Matsumoto is enthusiastic about the role, but becomes discouraged when he realises that the star is a dog. Masao won’t obey anything Matsumoto says and simply drags him around. Matsumoto desperately tries to find success individually as a comic, but his efforts are in vain. He not only loses his comedy partner, but also gets dumped by the
girlfriend he was living with. Gray 1

During the height of the 1960s Cold War, an unlikely friendship develops between a Chinese and Soviet soldier as they guard their watchtowers in the remote part of the Soviet- Chinese border.

Interpol agent CK Long busted a billion-dollar drug deal 15 years ago. The cartel avenged itself by hiring Madame Rose’s organisation of assassins to kill CK
Long’s entire family. Long himself survived, and believes his young daughter is still alive. In fact, for these 15 years, the girl has been kidnapped by Madame Rose, brainwashed and trained into beautiful, sexy killer Phoenix. Phoenix has now become the top-ranked killer in Madame Rose’s organisation. CK Long never imagined that he would one day become the target of his own daughter. Olympia 6
