Asian Fest Moves Into Polish Distribution

By

    WARSAW: The Warsaw based Five Flavours festival of Asian films announced it will launch as a distribution label in Poland.

    The new label, also using the name Five Flavours, will release its first three feature films, from the Phillipines, Bhutan and Indonesia, by spring 2018.

    “Asian films are a rarity in Polish cinemas with only a few titles being released each year, some of which face very limited arthouse distribution, which makes the Polish audience watch most of them at film festivals. Asian releases don't receive much media publicity either,” the festival stated in a press release.

    The 11th Five Flavours will take place in Warsaw 16 – 23 November 2017.
