Description: Découvrez l'Asie dans toute sa diversité !
Asia Unseen is a Paris-based monthly event concept combining the special screening of an unreleased Asian film + an introduction by the director or a guest speaker + a tasting session of delicacies from the featured country.
Asia Unseen is curated by La Lanterne Asia, a volunteer-based organization that aims at promoting Asian cultures in all their diversities – specifically through cinema and extending toward a more global experience (food tasting, music, arts etc.). La Lanterne Asia was created by three film distributors – Grégory Coutaut (Aloha Distribution), Antoine Guérin (Spectrum Films) and Bich-Quân Tran (Dissidenz Films) –, who have observed how difficult it was to introduce to the French (and probably European) audien
La Lanterne launched Asia Unseen in January 2020 – a monthly cinematographic event curated by La Lanterne and held in Paris in association with the movie theater Espace Saint Michel. Each screening is preceded by an introduction given by a speaker or a member of the film crew, and followed by a drinks & bites reception at the cinema bar introducing local delicacies from the film country.
