Turner Classic Movies - Asian Images in Film
May 28th, 2008 | By andy | Category: Featured Articles, TV / Drama, Video
I received an email from the Assistant Manager of Digital Marketing from tbs.com/tcm.com/tnt.tv. First of all, I was really surprised that someone from a major tv network found my blog. Now you all know how popular I am. 
I don’t think there are any reasons for me to explain what this is all about. Here is an excerpt directly from the email I received.
….this June, Turner Classic Movies presents Race & Hollywood: Asian
Images in Film. This is a groundbreaking festival of 37 films examining the
portrayal of Asians in classic movies. The festival is co-hosted by Robert
Osborne (TCM’s primetime host) and Dr. Peter X Feng, an associate professor of
film, ethnic and cultural studies at the University of Delaware and expert on
Asian American film.Asian Images in Film will feature interviews from some of the most notable
Asian actors, actresses and directors in the industry including George Takei,
Elaine Mae Woo, Wayne Wang and Ming Wen. Films shown range from the silent era
(1899) through modern films (2001) and include the Dragon Seed, Bridge to the
Sun, Shanghai Express, Enter the Dragon and Joy Luck Club.CLICK HERE to watch and embed a sneak peek about Asian stereotypes in cinema:

Thanks for your time.
I didn’t know how to embed the videos directly from the website but I did find one on youtube.
hi, good information. Honestly speaking, your blog is one of my main resource to know Korean films and Korean actress. I like it. Good work.
Indeed^^;…oh my..i love those classic movies…and i’m proud to be an asian..
what was their real intention of emailing you and sending you those informations? to help them promote? =P
You have a great site, what would it make it greatly improve is if you featured artists and entertainment news of asian artists of other countries besides Korea — even Bollywood in India or the Philippines or China. These are part of Asia too.
It is a great thing to see a blog focused on asian art and artists - we should have more blogs like this because there is so much Asian talent out there that is unrecognized.
Wow, andy’s hit the big time! lol
I think this is going to be a great way for people interested to dive into Asian entertainment. For others, helloooo nostalgia!
It is rare that I see a blog focused entirely on Asian entertainment. This is a good development, since the world is so westernized. Hollywood is not the end all and be all of entertainment, various types exist throughout the world.
Nice blog !! keep the good work up !!
