About Me

Dr. Stan Glick: I became seriously interested in Asian films in the mid-90s after reading SEX AND ZEN & A BULLET IN THE HEAD My first Asian film review, on TOKYO BLUE CASE 1, starring the delectable Keiko Shiratori, appeared in ASIAN CULT CINEMA magazine in 2000. I became a columnist about a year later, a position that I held until ASIAN CULT CINEMA ceased publication at the end of 2009. Meanwhile, I began my own blog, AsianCineFest, at the end of June 2006. Living in New York, I have covered many of the festivals and film series there over the years, and have also interviewed several Asian film directors, actors, and actresses, including Lee Chang-dong, Tsui Hark, Joe Shishido, and Sora Aoi. In 2011, I became associated with the VCinema Podcast and Blog when I contributed articles about and helped coordinate coverage of that year’s New York Asian Film Festival and Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film. I've been a co-host of the VCinema Podcast starting with Episode 35: Exte. Email: asiancinefest@gmail.com
