?SURPRISE EPISODE?
@asiatiskafilmfest is going on right now in Sweden, up until the 24th of September with movies from different parts of Asia.
So, in this episode, we have Anastasia Tsang, director of “A Light Never Goes Out” and Cheuk Wan-Chi, director of “Vital Sign”. (Sadly, no Emei due to scheduling conflicts)
