CHICAGO – Season 12 continues for the Asian Pop-Up Cinema (APUC) series of Chicago with a series of 11 films at the Lincoln Yards Drive-In from April 15th through May 2nd, 2021. For a complete schedule and ticketing information, click here [26].
The Opener at the Drive-In on Thursday, April 15th, is the U.S. Premiere of “One Second Champion” (Hong Kong), directed by Chiu Sin Hang. A loser single father learns that lesson the hard way when he becomes gifted with the power of seeing one second into the future. When his ability is exposed, a boxing buff persuades him to use his power in the ring. Can a second mean the difference between life and death?
In addition to eight North American and 12 U.S. premieres, the festival is offering selected films from Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Mongolia. The festival is curated by Founder & Executive Director Sophia Wong Boccio.
Most of the feature presentations will include Q&As with the filmmakers, moderated by Mark Schilling (Japan), Ron Falzone (China/Thai), Darcy Parquet (South Korea), Kevin Ma (Hong Kong) and Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com (Taiwan).
