Ang Lee to speak at Asian film festival

Korean-language films might take center stage at the 27th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, making up both the opening and closing nights, but there’s also the world premiere of a local filmmaker’s latest musical, an Oscar-winning director discussing his technique and a career retrospective of an internationally recognized master of horror and suspense.

The festival, the signature event of the Center for Asian American Media, opens March 12 at the Castro with Lee Yoon-ki’s “My Dear Enemy,” about old lovers sharing a wild night in Seoul and starring Cannes best actress award winner (for 2007’s “Secret Sunshine”) Jeon Do-yeon. . . . .
