Two things that get nerds hot. Tokyo and GORE!!! Put them together and you have magic. New York Asian Film Festival is shaping up nicely and we announced the creepiest of the bunch a couple of days back.

Now the crew have added an event you'll never be able to pass up ...

"One of the most insane new voices in cinema is the screaming howl of Yoshihiro Nishimura, director of TOKYO GORE POLICE, and special effects genius (who also did the effects for LOVE EXPOSURE and SAMURAI PRINCESS, screening in this year¹s festival). He couldn¹t join us for the premiere of TOKYO GORE POLICE last year so for one weekend only we¹ll be hosting him at the New York Asian Film Festival and holding a special TOKYO GORE NIGHT event. First up will be screenings of several completely nuts short films from Nishimura and his cabal of lunatics all set in the TOKYO GORE POLICE and MACHINE GIRL universe. Then there will be a special onstage presentation by these madmen followed by a screening of TOKYO GORE POLICE during which we¹ll record a live audio commentary for the movie¹s upcoming special edition DVD. Accompanying Nishimura will be Noboru Iguchi, the director of MACHINE GIRL and the maniac responsible for the short film SHYNESS MACHINE GIRL which we¹ll also be screening that night. Also coming will be Tsuyoshi Kazuno, a visual effects supervisor on SAMURAI PRINCESS, MACHINE GIRL and many others. More surprises are in store, so make sure you wear something that you don't mind getting soaked with blood."

Keep watching Dread as the NY Asian Film Fest schedule takes shape!
