"In the fires of war, no one is a bystander." Well Go USA has revealed an international teaser trailer for a Hong Kong action thriller film called Customs Frontline, made by filmmaker Herman Yau. This recently premiered at the 2024 Far East Film Festival in Italy, and will open in China & Hk later in June. It's set to arrive in US theaters a few weeks later in July - for anyone who wants to catch this. Hong Kong customs officers discover an illegal weapons cache on a cargo ship and trace them back to an international conflict. Elite agents go undercover, and uncover a dangerous operation with roots closer to home. A container ship appears in Hong Kong waters and the customs officers board to inspect it. The team, which includes hotshot Chow Ching-lai soon discovers the crew dead and a huge pile of weapons, including an extremely valuable compass suitable for piloting a submarine.

“Takano Tofu” claimed double honors on the closing night of the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy. It won the Golden Mulberry audience award and the MyMovies Purple Mulberry award.
Directed by Mihara Mitsuhiro, “Takano Tofu” is a melodrama about an elderly tofu-making craftsman, who is stuck in his ways but is also experimental and who is kindly, but whose stubbornness brings suffering on those around him. Udine’s Japan selector, Mark Schilling compared the work to that of master director Ozu Yasujiro.
The prizes were handed out in the early hours of Friday after a marathon day of celebratory activity that started with Chinese director Zhang Yimou on hand for a screening of his “Raise the Red Lantern,” continued with a generous-spirited masterclass and in the evening continued with the handover of Zhang’s lifetime achievement award. Two more films – Zhang’s “To Live” and the premiere of...
