Tomorrow, Thursday, June 8th, 2010, will hopefully mark the end of New York City's current heat wave. Whatever the weather, Thursday will somewhat sadly be the final day of this year's New York Asian Film Festival. Fortunately, the JAPAN CUTS film series will continue through Friday July 16th.

Here's the schedule of NYAFF films playing on Thursday at The Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, at 165 West 65th Street, Upper Level, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue:
