The 2012 Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) will take place on November 1-4, 2012, at the Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas in Vancouver. Close to 3,000 audience members are expected to attend the four-day festival. The opening film for the 2012 Vancouver Asian Film Festival is the Canadian premiere of DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, the second installment of the SURROGATE VALENTINE trilogy. SURROGATE VALENTINE was 2011 VAFF’s closing film, and attracted a lot of buzz and a sold-out crowd. Lead actors, Goh Nakamura and Yea-ming Chen (who both play themselves in the movie), will be in attendance at the opening. Other films shown during the festival include LOST LAGOON directed by local filmmaker Rob Leickner, the closing night film, WHITE FROG, starring Joan Chen, BD Wong, Harry Shum Jr. (from Glee) and Booboo Stewart (from the Twilight Saga), the South Asian short SECOND BEST, Model Minority, Sunset Stories starring Sung Kang, and Knots. You can get tickets here.
