Today in VB: The latest cinematic gem from the vast continent
 
Zhuo-Ning Su written about Aurora: "As Asia’s premier film festival, Busan offers a comprehensive look at the latest cinematic gems from the vast continent, including the often neglected region of Central Asia. Hailing from Kyrgyzstan, writer/director Bekzat Pirmatov’s feature debut Aurora is an at times profoundly strange, at times simply profound postmodern parable. It marks the arrival of a potent new voice and deserves to be included in any festival lineup – Asian or beyond."
 
I found Zhuo-Ning (Tony) Su, he is living in Berlin, author of many reviews.
