The eighth Helsinki Cine Aasia ended on Sunday March 15th. Eighteen films from East and Southeast Asia were screened during the four-day festival.
The most popular films at this year’s festival were the warm Tibetan family drama Balloon, which opened the festival, and the ambitious Chinese arthouse drama Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.
Japanese films have always been audience favourites at Helsinki Cine Aasia. This year’s most popular Japanese films were the comedy-drama Only the Cat Knows, the serene and elegant Only the Cat Knows and the picturesque They Say Nothing Stays the Same.
Helsinki Cine Aasia’s guests were also Japanese. Director Amano Chihiro and actor Nagao Takuma participated in all screenings of their film Mrs. Noisy during the festival.
