LINE-UP | FEATURE FILMS IN ASIA
Ciné Asie is the first Canadian sales agent to specialize in sales in Asian markets.
Our mission is to bring high quality Canadian films to Asian screens. Here's a list of the films that we currently represent:
ONE BIG HAPA FAMILY (2010)
Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival 2010
After a realization at a family reunion, half Japanese-Canadian filmmaker, Jeff Chiba Stearns,
embarks on a journey of self-discovery to find out why everyone in his Japanese-Canadian family
married interracially after his grandparents’ generation. Exploring four generations of one family,
this feature artfully mixes live action and animation. It not only challenges our perceptions of
purity, but also questions if mixing is the end of multiculturalism.
Director: Jeff Chiba Stearns - Cast: Azita Sahebjam, Tara Nazemi, Parisa Wahedi

NEW YEAR (2010)
Montreal World Film Festival 2010
New Year is a coming-of-age comedy about death, pregnancy, and a big fucking party! The random
violent murder of a gas station attendant acts as the catalyst for loversJason, a 23 year old
student who lives at home, and Allison, an unemployed gradschool graduate, to take stock of their
lives, and relationship. When Allison’s highschool sweetheart returns home for the holidays from
his tour as a Canadian peacekeeper in the Middle East, he magnifies the unspoken gap that has
grown between she and Jason. They all go head to head at an unbelievable New Years’ Eve bash
full of emotion, egos, and really gross humour..
