World Premiere: Wayne Wang's "The Princess Of Nebraska"
Friday, October 17, 2008
Wayne Wang has solidified his reputation as one of the world's pre-eminent Asian-American filmmakers over the past three decades, directing features such as
The Joy Luck Club
,
Smoke
and
Maid in Manhattan
. So it is with great pleasure that we announce today, in partnership with
Cinetic Media
and Magnolia Pictures, the world premiere of his new film,
The Princess of Nebraska
, in the
YouTube Screening Room
.
Along with its recently theatrically-released companion film,
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers
,
The Princess of Nebraska
explores issues of Chinese identity in the modern world. Using digital cameras, the film chronicles 24 hours in the life of a young, pregnant Chinese woman as she struggles with the most difficult of decisions.
To celebrate the premiere, we'll also be featuring three shorts from up-and-coming Asian filmmakers in the YouTube Screening Room.
"The Tired City,"
from Hong Kong, is the animated story of a woman pushed to the breaking point by her job. In the
"The Chestnut Tree,"
the director uses hand-drawn animation to recount memories of life with her mother in Korea. Finally, in the Japanese film
"Scab,"
a young student tries to finish his homework, but the giant wound on his tutor's lip is making it a little hard to focus.
One thing to note -- because of distribution restrictions,
The Princess of Nebraska
is only available to users in the United States. Our sincere apologies in advance if this precludes you from watching.
Happy Viewing!
