SUMMARY:Yuen Woo-ping Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:In a Hong Kong film industry overflowing with martial arts talent\, Yuen Woo-ping stands apart. His legendary influence\, in a career spanning more than five decades\, has earned him the widely celebrated\, industry-bestowed moniker “天下第一武指\,” which translates as “The Number One Martial Arts Director Under the Sky.” As both film director and action choreographer\, Yuen helped elevate martial arts cinema into a sophisticated art form\, blending technical precision with character\, poetry\, and astonishing physical invention. His choreography prioritizes movement legibility\, spatial clarity\, and expressive geometry over brute force\, reshaping the visual grammar of global action filmmaking. \nBorn into a family of Peking Opera performers\, Yuen grew up in a tradition where drama\, martial arts\, acrobatics\, and dance were inseparable—a heritage linking him to contemporaries like Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung\, who emerged from the same rigorous training. Yuen’s father\, Yuen Siu-tien\, an accomplished opera performer\, actor\, and martial arts director\, introduced his children to the film set. The Yuen siblings began as stunt performers and rose through the ranks. Together they formed the Yuen Clan\, becoming some of Hong Kong cinema’s most respected stunt performers and action directors. \nYuen’s first two films as a director\, Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Drunken Master (both 1978)\, launched Chan’s stardom. By shifting martial arts cinema away from solemn violence to wit\, personality\, and comedic invention\, the films established a template for Chan’s career. Yuen went on to collaborate with icons like Hung\, Jet Li\, Michelle Yeoh\, and Donnie Yen\, while consistently demonstrating an unparalleled ability to train performers of all backgrounds—including Hollywood stars like Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman—in his intensive “fight camps.” \nYuen’s work on The Matrix (1999)\, which seamlessly integrates Hong Kong wirework—human-controlled harnesses and cables that propel and suspend performers—with science fiction\, fundamentally altered how Hollywood approaches action. With Crouching Tiger\, Hidden Dragon (2000) he showed that martial arts could deepen a film’s emotional and intellectual resonance as much as its spectacle. Yuen’s extraordinary adaptability made him the definitive collaborator for visually distinct auteurs as diverse as Stephen Chow\, Ang Lee\, Quentin Tarantino\, Tsui Hark\, the Wachowskis\, and Wong Kar Wai. Decades after his debut\, Yuen’s latest epic\, Blades of the Guardians (2026)\, proves his vision still dictates the rhythm of modern action cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\nIron Monkey (少年黃飛鴻之鐵馬騮).1993.

SUMMARY:2026 Korea on Screen: House of the Seasons (장손)
DESCRIPTION:The Korean Cultural Center New York proudly presents Peafowl as part of its Korea on Screen series—a year-long screening series celebrating the depth and diversity of Korean cinema. Through feature films\, documentaries\, short films\, and independent productions\, the series aims to broaden access to and appreciation of Korean cinema in New York City. \nOh Jung-min’s House of the Seasons begins on a sweltering summer day as three generations of a family gather at their hometown in Daegu for an ancestral memorial rite. Seong-jin’s father has inherited and now runs the family tofu factory\, with other family members helping with the business. What at first appears to be a harmonious family gathering gradually begins to unravel after the memorial rite\, as differing perspectives and long-standing tensions come to the surface. In the midst of the growing conflict\, Seong-jin makes a startling declaration: he has no intention of taking over the family business. Following the lives of this three-generation family with a calm and restrained gaze\, Oh Jung-min reflects on what disappears and what is passed on to the next generation. \nHouse of the Seasons premiered at the 28th Busan International Film Festival\, where it won three awards: the KBS Independent Film Award\, the Aurora Media Award\, and the CGK Award. The film was recognized for its nuanced portrayal of multigenerational family life\, Korean tradition\, and generational conflict. \nTicket: FREE (RSVP REQUIRED)\n * RSVP and seating are first come\, first served.\n* Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.\n* Your tickets will be released to the standby line 10 minutes before the show\, so we recommend you arrive early to secure your seats.

SUMMARY:An Eye for an Eye Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:An Eye for an Eye\nTanaz Eshaghian and Farzad Jafari\, 2025\, 84 minutes.\nIn Persian with English subtitles. \nAn Eye for an Eye is a documentary that unfolds like a real-life courtroom thriller that pulls you inside a justice system unlike any other — one where the fate of a life doesn’t rest with a judge\, but in the hands of a grieving family who can choose retribution or forgiveness. \nYears after killing her abusive husband in an act of self-defense\, Tahereh now faces execution unless she can pay the Diya — blood money demanded by her abuser’s family. With the clock ticking and public sympathy running low\, her son Mohsen is thrust into a desperate race against time to save his mother’s life\, turning to outside donors in a society where victims of domestic abuse are often met with silence — or scorn. \nDirected by Iranian-American filmmaker Tanaz Eshaghian\, the film unfolds with the intimacy of a family drama and the tension of a thriller\, asking a question that stays with you long after the credits: when forgiveness has a price\, what is a life worth? \nA discussion and Q&A with Director Tanaz Eshaghian will follow the screening.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Film and the Power of Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening & Conversation: The Bengali\nPart of the #UnderOurSun Impact Campaign \nRSVP Link: https://forms.gle/LKw1uFY6jUvQcP9H6 \nJoin for an evening of film\, conversation\, and community at Turkevi Center (Turkish House) to explore the stories you inherit\, the identities you carry\, and the unexpected connections that shape the world. \nIn The Bengali\, named one of Nonfics’ Top 20 Documentaries\, director Kavery Kaul takes an American woman to India to uncover her grandfather Shaik Mohamed Musa’s past. He was one of the early group of men who arrived in the late nineteenth century and married African American women. Her unlikely quest triggers a boldly different encounter between East and West. A personal search becomes a deeper journey into culture\, memory\, and identity\, breaking barriers and building bridges\, revealing how histories travel\, and families form across unexpected places. \nThe Bengali has inspired the @Under.Our.Sun impact campaign\, a digital storytelling movement that invites everyone to share their own cultural heritage and lived experience. Through in-person screenings\, lively panel discussions\, and digital storytelling\, the campaign sparks timely conversation about migration and belonging. \nThe Alliance of Women Film Journalists calls The Bengali “a lyrical and poetic documentary that shows how stories and presumptions can change\, forging connections that are rich and real — not just to the past\, but to the world at large.” \nProgram\n5:30 PM — Reception\n6:00 PM — Film Screening\n7:15 PM — Conversation & Audience Q&A \nFeaturing\nKavery Kaul\, Director\, The Bengali\nGordon Tapper\, President\, Give Them a Hand Foundation\, Former Section Chief\, United Nations\nModerated by Bedatri D.
