CINEMA ASIA NEW!
Premieres Friday, May 16 at 10 pm on Knowledge Network

Cinema Asia is a five-part documentary series that takes the viewer into the most dynamic film scene on the planet. Asia houses some of the world’s biggest film industries: India boasts that it is the Number One film producing country in the world, while China, at Number Three is nipping closely at Hollywood’s heels. Taiwan, Korea and Iran have film industries that are smaller, but no less vibrant. Long trapped within their own national boundaries, these national cinemas have in recent years burst onto international screens. Cinema Asia offers the viewer a rich mix of clips from some of the most important films produced in recent years.
