Ichi and Mushi-shi will screen at Asian Film Festival of Dallas

Asian Film Festival of Dallas

The 8th Annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas kicks off July 17 and runs through July 23. You can find out all the information of the various events at http://2009.affd.org

One of the things you can do is see the live action screening of films Ichi and Mushi-shi. Ichi will be on Friday, July 17, 2009 at 9:30pm.

Here is a little about the story:
ICHI –
She cuts through darkness in search of light.

Ichi honors the classic tale of the blind samurai while casting the legend in breathtaking new light. In a role traditionally played by men, award-winning actress Haruka Ayase is both tender and brutal.

Beautiful Ichi wanders blindly from village to village, searching for the sightless swordsman who long ago taught her to kill. Her technique is exquisite and explosive, her defenses as impenetrable as the darkness in which she moves. Many along her solitary path are touched – some by the sound of her delicate music, others by the edge of her lethal blade. Also starring Shidou Nakamura (Letters from Iwo Jima), with original music by Lisa Gerrard (Gladiator, Dead Can Dance).

Mushi-Shi is showing Wednesday, July 22 at 3:30 pm. Both events are at the Magnolia Theater in Dallas.
