Asia House is delighted to announce the full programme of the Asia House Film Festival 2016, once again generously supported by Prudential plc. This year’s theme of ‘Breaking Boundaries’ will be reflected in the diverse programme of 19 films, which include five European and six UK premieres. All of the films will be shown in London for the first time.
The Festival, now in its eighth year, will take place from 22 February to 5 March, and includes 11 feature films, three documentaries and five short films coming out of countries including Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Myanmar and Afghanistan.
Jasper Sharp, the Festival’s Artistic Director, said: “The films selected as part of the 2016 programme represent a world in which culture, politics and economies are transcending national boundaries. There will be a number of films from countries often completely overlooked by followers of Asian cinema, giving audiences a chance to experience the lives and landscapes...

First, can we talk about Olly and Caroline?

Caroline Flack is missing from The X Factor - at least, that's what fans on Twitter have been saying. She's meant to be co-hosting the series with Olly Murs, but beyond the occasional glimpse (unfortunately singing the wrong words to a Jessie J track)... where is she?
It turns out that even Caroline doesn't really know what's going on.
@JordJosh hope not
— caroline flack (@carolineflack1) September 6, 2015
Fans are wondering where she is.
Not sure if it's unfavourable editing, but I don't think I've heard Caroline Flack utter a word on #XFactor
— Cristo Foufas (@cristo_radio) September 6, 2015
And they're not happy about her absence.
@ITV @ollyofficial @TheXFactor I'd appreciate more of @carolineflack1 tbh. Seems like you're cutting her out & throwing Olly in our faces :(

Tonight's (September 6) X Factor didn't disappoint: there was drama, amazing performances and one act that had Louis Walsh's name written all over him - and also just so happened to be Chaka Khan's hairdresser.
Of course Digital Spy was keeping an eye on Twitter and as ever, your tweets didn't disappoint.
Mostly, people loved it:

Digital Spy rounds up reaction to night one of The X Factor's finale below:
1. Take That's opening of the show with the three finalists brought questions about the band auditioning new members:
Just looking away from TV and thought that wasn't a great start for an X Factor finalist then realised it was Gary Barlow!

Who doesn’t love an epic, overdramatic, ‘80s sports battle? I think every other film that came out of that era fit that bill. “Locals Only, Bro. No Kooks!” transports you back to the 1980s when the clothes were bright and baggy, the babes were bodacious, the boards were flat and wide, and street skating was still in its infancy.
The Back Forty Bros hit the beach for a battle of epic proportions. Rivals crews duke it out on boards while the affections of some bodacious babes hang in the balance!
The short film stars current street skating legends Marc Johnson, Kenny Anderson, Danny Montoya, Chris Roberts, and more. It’s funny seeing these amazingly talented skateboarders holding back so much to perform tricks that are either completely obsolete or overly simplistic by today’s standards.

Paul Motian passed away at age 80 yesterday after complications from the bone-marrow disorder myelodisplastic syndrome. In a career that exceeded five decades, Motian was one of the most respected drummers in jazz history as well as a superb composer and adept bandleader. Critic Art Lange called him "that rare commodity, an intimate drummer." And here's a bit of trivia: Motian played at Woodstock, in Arlo Guthrie's band.
Even music lovers largely unfamiliar with jazz have heard his work with pianist Bill Evans, whose trio Motian played in from 1959 to 1964. Other piano greats who availed themselves of Motian's subtly swinging sense of rhythm included Thelonious Monk, Herbie Nichols, Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, Carla Bley, Lennie Tristano, Mose Allison, Martial Solal, Enrico Pieranunzi, and Marilyn Crispell.
On his own records (perhaps to avoid comparisons?) he favored guitarists instead, most notably Bill Frisell. After graduating from their '80s apprenticeships in Motian's trio and quintet,...
