This five-part documentary series takes the viewer into the most dynamic film scene on the planet. Asia.

Asia houses two of the worlds film-making superpowers. India boasts that it is the number one film producing country in the world, while China, at number three is nipping closely at Hollywoods heels. Taiwan, Korea and Iran have film industries that are smaller, but no less vibrant. Punching far above their weight these national cinemas have taken their place on the international stage.

Cinema Asia offers the viewer a rich mix of clips from some of the most important films produced in recent years. Interviews with their makers provide a unique window not only on the world of film-making, but on the cultures that have made them. In an age of incessant and irresistible globalisation this series shows how national cinemas fight against the Hollywoodisation of global cinema.
