TwoOhSix Picks - 2018 New York Asian Film Festival

The 2018 New York Asian Film Festival lineup is filled with a wide variety of films touching all genres and coming from all over the world. In honor of this being the festival's 17th year of existence, you will find 17 selections that I consider to be the ones you do not want to miss. Of course, keep in mind, my picks tend to lead towards action, horror, science fiction, and other genre favorites although I do try to include a bit of everything.
