The Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) has revealed the 15 teams that will take part in its international pitching showcase, The FACTory.
Now in its sixth year, the annual event for new documentary and factual projects will be held online, giving selected participants the opportunity to present their work in front of the largest contingent of international decision-makers to participate in Aidc, including funders, buyers, broadcasters, sales agents, and distributors.

Most of the times, and particularly in the West, when one refers to Asian cinema, one usually talks about Japan, S. Korea and the Sinophone world. However, the more I deal with the cinema of the Philippines, the more I feel that the country’s filmography deserves a place in the particular discourse, both for its past but also for its present and its future.
Through interviews conducted with a number of the directors in the list (you can check the links in their names) and a number of reviews of their films (you can check the links in the titles) you can find more detailed information on their work and perspective, but, evidently, this is an effort of presenting and cataloguing (to a point at least) instead of analyzing, which will definitely come in the future, as Filipino cinema will be one that Asian Movie Pulse and me personally focus on the next years.

Busan International Film Festival (Biff) has announced 22 projects to receive Asian Cinema Fund support this year, including Park Kyoung Tae’s Ne Me Quitte Pas and Venice Biennale College project Hotel Salvation.
“Although this year’s number of submissions went down, in comparison, we had a lot of good documentary projects from Korea. We also have our first project from Bhutan selected for post-production support,” said Acf director Hong Hyosook.
Park previously co-directed, with Kim Dong-ryeong, the documentary Tour Of Duty, also an earlier Acf recipient that went on to win the Jury’s Special Prize at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in 2013.
Continuing his exploration of filmmaking through collaboration with women working around Us military bases in Korea, Ne Me Quitte Pas delves into the past while looking into the disappearance of a prostitute who in 1972 wrote a bestseller about her life and loves around an army base.

A telephone conversation between Ernesto "Jazz" Tigaldao and his German boyfriend Theo Rutkowski opens Baby Ruth Villarama's Jazz in Love. As excited words are exchanged, Villarama's camera lingers heavily on Jazz's face, examining its longing lines and careful contours, forcing familiarity within the few minutes that are spent to introduce us to a same-sex and Facebook-initiated long distance love affair. By the time the two lovers give each other their respective parting kisses over the phone, Jazz has already become a fully-formed character, a hopelessly enamoured romantic who is on his way to Germany to wed his foreign prince and live his happily-ever-after. It is not as if adorably optimistic Jazz does not deserve his fairy tale ending. He has studied and learned enough German...
